I have been battling this Hepc treatment so long that I was never interested in dating or better yet sleeping with anyone . Yesterday I went to a bar to visit a good friend who had a stroke and by-pass surgery . He is doing so well I am very happy for him and thank the universe for keeping him here with us . So of course being in a gay bar I was propositioned by a man , he bought me a drink and instantly assumed we would be "doing me that night" . until I leaned over and whispered in his ear that I was HIV Poz . He started scratching his head looking very up set and I asked him if that bothered him . Meanwhile we know several friends who have passed from Aids . He instantly looked at me in a different way like he was shocked and didn't understand about the disease . I finished my beer and said my goodbyes to everyone .
Once alone I began to think is this how its going to be now ? I refuse to feel ashamed of this disease but I was saddened by the fact that was in front of my face , you are tainted SR . This was a gay man older than me why was he so ignorant about it ? Why did he want to make me feel bad because I wasn't " clean" . The ignorance about this disease is still so abundant and still all around us . I am going to call Aids action today to see what I can do to help get the word out , To do something to take away the bad stigma HIV has . Blessed be everyone
