You haven't lived until you've held a best bud's hand dying from this hideous condition; pushed his wheelchair to appointments, inserted his IV/feeding tube, wiped his brow with a cold cloth, hugged his tiny, sunken frame for assurance that "everything is going to be alright" when you both fucking well know it isn't, and view his dead body that now is without a soul; my entire circle of talented, intelligent, vibrant best friends was wiped out; the change from formerly hunky sexy bodies to gross distortions is amazing! I'm not going to do my usual polemic but ask seriously if you are fucking around, use a condom! Don't share needles! (That's a whole other discussion) Some believe that the virus was hatched in Ft Detrick, Maryland, other exotic (and most probably disinformation) theories postulate that it originated in Congo, from "Green Monkeys" . . . wherever it came from, it's still out there; I don't mean this to be a heavy downer, but really care for you guys & want you to consider the other side/consequences of your actions. I'm also very proud to still be HIV negative & intend to stay that way . . . hugs/kisses for all!
