"I kissed his hand/before I got down on 1 knee/He said it was only love/That could heal his HIV."
--From "Bye Blood" by urs truly.
I haven't told many ppl of a dear friend that died of AIDS. Though we never dated,I was in love w/him. And when his HIV had developed into AIDS he started giving up. After a while it felt like I was dying w/him.
When he found out he had HIV it was almost 2 years after he was most likely infected.
I urge all of you,please protect yourselves, get tested, and if you are already infected, take care of yourselves. Keep hope. If you need information on HIV/AIDs, testing sites, where to get condoms, and how to stay healthy if you've been infected, here's some info for you

Chart from www.avert.org. These are US statistics up to 2007.
I joke about condoms alot, might as well call me the early 90's Left Eye. But it's because AIDS is real. And what's even more terrible is this is a virus MOSTLY caused from an act of love. Make sex beautiful by keeping it safe and healthy.
Peace and MAD Luv!
