Finding out I was HIV positive was one of the most devastating experience of my life. knowing that i am taken care of because my part time job that pays for my full time schooling doesn't offer healthcare is a blessing and a relief. Thank God we live in a rational country that realizes that a mistake doesn't define who we are and everyone deserves to live a happy, healthy life. Due to medical advances those of us who happen to be hiv positive and who are lucky enough to live in this great country have a life expectancy only 4 years less than that of an otherwise healthy person. Without Ryan White and A.D.A.P, the medication helping to save my life would be out of this world expensive. Compassion goes a long way. I love you, Dave. I sense the glorious radiance of the Lord from you, even though you may have a misguided view on this particular subject.
