Large part of my survival with HIV 30 YRS.
HIV will make you look harder at your dreams or things you always wanted to do but never had the guts to do it, you either give in to HIV or you fight, sometime people with HIV have to numb themselves with alcohol an drugs until they are ready to be honest with themselves an accept that they have a chronic disease, then they are amazed by all the things in life they had missed like smelling flowers looking at colors thinking its the first time to see this amazing color, or they start to notice clouds or how yummy a coffee tastes , its like being a child all over again learning an taking in everything. You either grab the reigns or determine your direction with how you survive with HIV or you live bumping into walls wandering about an react surprised when something happens. But to really survive you have to know what your living with an how can you help yourselves to learn all you can about what the doctors tell you which is called empowerment....this is how I lived over the 30 years I've been HIV+.

Alabama HIV+ go hungry!
Kathy Hiers, AID ALABAMA Miss Hiers is awesome at what she does but as she has said Alabama or any southern states get unfair share compared to northern states which waste HIV funding. Our HIV families an singles suffer for this...can you imagine the nutritional cost to stay healthy for HIV individuals? Men need 130 lean grams of protein and woman 100 to keep from wasting an losing muscle mass that non-HIV person take for granted. HIV eats up nutrition fast! Some need to drink Ensure(Abottlabs) which is extremely over priced outve range for low income Alabamian's who can barely put food on the tables for themselves plus the children. Lets please get our giving spirits out an help fill the void for these poor Americans who live with HIV.
YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE FOR CHANGE!

Documentary sheds light on hidden HIV/AIDS epidemic in American south | PRI.ORG
Family values in the south and the perceived shame from an HIV/AIDS diagnosis often lead residents of the American south to keep quiet about a serious HIV/AIDS epidemic that continues to grow. A new documentary shines light on the problem with a mix of data and intimate personal accounts.

Lifesaving HIV treatment could reach millions more people following landmark study
Lifesaving HIV treatment could reach millions more people following landmark study
"A reduced daily dose should translate into a lower cost of treatment and permit more effective and efficient use of health care resources. Essentially, more people could receive this life-saving treatment for the same amount of funding."
