March 21, 2000 Tuesday, March 21, 2000 This is a good site
Tuesday, March 28, 2000 This is not a story but a warning that people coming to this site should hear. About nine months ago I meet a great guy who ended up being my first boyfriend. Before we had any unsafe sex I asked him if he was HIV+, he said he was not. Last week I found out that I was HIV+, as it turns out my boyfriend had been for over 4 years. Because of my trust in him I may one day die. I thought I was being careful, I never had unsafe sex before he came along. If I could do it all again I would have had us both tested and received the results together. Then waited 3 months and do it again, and then again. Then I would have known. It is not long to wait to be sure. It's to late for me. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE-BE VERY SURE. Ben Tuesday, March 28, 2000 Hi! I shall stay
nameless for the simple fact my own sister is infected with the HIV virus. She set out to destroy
as many lives as she could by, having sexual intercourse with individuals
without warning them that she was HIV positive. I myself tried to talk
with her and show her that I cared as a sister, but it seemed as though
she was looking mostly for her mother if not anyone else's understanding.
Thursday, April 6, 2000 I recently had my mother die from AIDS. My mother contracted the virus when I was 10 years old. I never really knew her because myself and my siblings were in foster care our whole lives but nonetheless, when she passed away it still hurt. It hurts to think of what some of our family members have done to themselves. Sometimes I think that if somehow I would've been able to talk to her years ago that this could've been prevented. I'm not blaming myself, but I feel that if she would've had someone to talk to about many of the things that she was doing--then maybe all of this could've been prevented. Many do not know what actually happens at the last phase--let me give you a recap. She went into the hospital last month with heartaches and difficulty breathing. When we had a chance to talk to the doctors we were told that our mother had tuberculosis,ARDS,pneumonia all combined with AIDS. She wouldn't have much time to live and if she miraculously came out of the hospital she would inevitably die. Everyday me and my sisters would go to the hospital to see her and we'd have to wear gowns, gloves, and face masks. Imagine not being able to touch your own mother skin to skin. Or being able to play with her hair or even have her talk to you. I'm going to sign off and leave you all thinking....Sometimes I miss her so much that I talk to her, even though she isn't there.

Jobling A beautiful, rich in emotion and honesty, a site worth visiting again and again. The sun hangs high
up in the sky Friday, April 7, 2000 I have only today found out about the web site. As I have only had the computer for one week I have been looking at different sites. Someone gave me a card at work " The Access Information Centre Card" I was unaware that there was such a site. As a positive person I will regularly visit this site to access information. As a positive person living in Rural NSW I was very pleased to see such a web site that you can access information without leaving home. I was diagnosed as HIV positive in March , 1986. At that time there was no support systems set up that I could have used. It has not been easy going over the past 14 years but but I am still here and that is very important to me. I work in an industry which I come into contact with other positive people. I find that really helps being able to talk to other positive people in the area as I live so far away from Sydney. There are many people living in Rural Areas who don't have access to this type of information and being able to express how they feel / and or coping. It is very satisfying to be able to talk about the issues that affect you. Thank you for having this web site. Best wishes to all positive people.
