Disclosing Status To Family
For those of you who have disclosed your status to your family, how did you do it and how did they take it?
For those of you who have not, why not?
When I told friends one disappeared and a few distanced themselves after attempting to console me, 2 stuck around and educated themselves. This made me feel like it's a burden at first. I did tell my… read more
Do You Have An Emergency Contact Person? For Those, Alone, Would You Consider Creating A List Here On My HIV Team In Case Of An Emergency?
Here on my HIV team, we have had members for as long as 5 to 7 years. Unfortunately through the years ,some of the members have passed and gone on. During these hard times , it's invaluable to have someone whom you can call if you need help or a medical emergency.
@A myHIVteam Member
If enough people were interested, how would it work exactly? Is this list for people who have absolutely no one they can call in case of emergency, or is it in case a member who is… read more
How Do You Cope Up With Your Family Members And Friends Now That You Are Infected With The Virus. Are They Friendly
I don't feel that it's necessary to tell anyone, but, don't try to get through it by yourself. Take care of yourself.
Do You Feel Alone?

Being Taken Advantage Of For Having HIV.
Ever since I was diagnosed positive my sister has used to it to her benefit. To make me look less of a person, one vulnerable and without any power. My dad and mom who are now deceased were supportive of my diagnosis and my lifestyle. I guess my sister hated that.

Where Did You Go?
It seems a lot of people on here disappear after awhile. Kinda sad . I have like over 500 team members but a lot of them just aren’t on or don’t post much. I’m grateful to the people I met on here that post as much as I do. I know people move on or feel this site is not what they expected. To the long timers on here how many people have disappeared from your team and do you ever wonder what happened to them?
How Many Of You Are Enrolled In "Smart 911?"
This question is for Canadians and Americans. Other countries will have different emergency numbers, and may or may not participate in this
If an emergency came up and you couldn't talk to the 911 operators, are you prepared to give them all your information without talking to them
Smart 911 will come across the dispatchers screen with your name, number and address just like landlines will. But smart 911 goes farther. You can put a description of yourself and a photo. You can add family… read more
I think only for Canadian students? Here is California we have CODE RED
What's The Best Way To Tell Family And Friends Of Your HIV Status?
