Let's Talk About Sex!
My name is Tyson and I have been living with HIV for fourteen years. About four years ago, I let my health slip and partied myself to a t-cell count of one (NO -- I didn't name it)! I was 110 pounds and dying. I made up my mind to get better and then use my experience to help educate others and maybe make this whole HIV thing easier to understand.
This lens is for everyone... pozzies... neggies... experienced and questioning. If have questions, answers, or just want to share your story... come on in!
Check out this campaign! Finally, the artist speak out again!
www.weallhaveaids.com
I was surfing for pictures and content to put up about myths and misconceptions of HIV and AIDS. What I found was this awesome campaign that has apparently been out since last World AIDS Day! Pulled from their website..."More than two decades into the worst healthcare crisis the world has ever known, STIGMA still challenges efforts to prevent, to treat and to ultimately cure HIV/AIDS. The awareness of such STIGMA is a necessary step towards the prevention, containment and eventual eradication, and is fortunately something we can all effect.
Because if one of us has AIDS, we all have it.
The WE ALL HAVE AIDS Campaign is a show of solidarity among, and an acknowledgment of, many of the world's most accomplished, devoted and inspiring AIDS activists and scientists of the last 20 years. Barefoot and determined, each participant has left a meaningful mark in cement, but more importantly in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the destructive STIGMA associated with this devastating disease"
What's on your mind?
Too embarassed to ask? Wanna know what's safe? Spill what you did last night and find out!
This is your place to talk about SEX and HIV! Keep it clean and nothing mean! Ask questions, give advice, just hang out, and make some awesome online friends!

Thanks Margaret! I'm going to start adding some things as I learn Squidoo a bit more that will feature both famous activist efforts (like the new weallhaveaids.com) and the efforts of those of us in the trenches. If you have something you are doing, send me pictures and I'll post an article! Posted December 14, 2006 |

Perfect lens for the tough topics group! Very well done. I'd like to see some things about what people are doing to help, and perhaps some stories about how people are dealing with it. All good healing vibes and blessings to you! You'll make a difference in the world from Squidoo. Posted December 14, 2006 |
