A quick recap to catch those of you up who do not know my story. I diagnosed positive for HIV in 1996. I was 21 and began dating the man who became my husband when I was 19. That is not why I was on disability, living with HIV never made me sick...
Never would I ever think that I would be the one telling the story from this side. But they told us never to say never anyways, so I guess that is where I first went wrong. The second misstep happened when I slept with that dude without a condom...

There are days when I really wonder why it is so hard to educate people about HIV.
Children are clay in the trusted hands of a human creator, loaned to us for a small moment in this space we consume. (Let’s understand first, I will not be striving for political correctness.)

Que tal queridas amigas, hermanas en la lucha de ser reconocidas por nosotras mismas, ayudándonos las unas a las otras, en esta experiencia de vida que me toco vivir, como mujer positiva y a la vez una mujer Trans y latina.
