Ryan - bravo! I thought I might be the last. I found out about my status the year Clinton was first elected. That's Ancient History, it should be studied in schools. All I can remember which isn't much these days since surviving the multiple cerebral
hemorrhages 15-years ago (There's a story in that!) The point is they gave us poisons which caused more side-effects than could fit on a pill bottle. Too make matters worse, I was a middle-aged man when I was infected. I'm now 66 but feel eighty and the
government has already reneged on three of the promises they made when I first registered as an HIV+ patient. Jeez!

But this is your blog. And Sir, I salute you! You and too few others remember how the pariah were segregated and used as lab rats. We still are treated like leapers. Christ!

"Thy will be done!" is the only prayer I bother with. "You're still alive?!" is how my doctor of forty years greets me. And he never fails to remind me that the only medical procedure I haven't had is an Autopsy. Thank God I discovered a long time ago
that a sense of humor is the best tonic of all.

Take elegant care of yourself,

Joseph

Hello Ryan
I just turned 26 in July... I too was born HIV+. But the interesting thing is, I've never been on any AntiRetroviral Treatment...not one tablet.
Only few family members know about this... We've kept it discreet as HIV patients are often stigmatised.
Am I miracle or just a regular case?
Thanks

My name is Mary I have been pos Hiv since June 9 1995. I don't have anymore to talk to that's positive like myself. I have trouble even sharing with my family or friends. People can be really stupid about it. I have been really sick lately and have had
feelings of just giving up.R really could use some Hiv positive friends💕

You are an exception. About 1% of the caucasian population carries a
genetic mutation that confers immunity to the virus. One copy of the
gene confers partial immunity, two copies full immunity.

I am not sure if this is the same mutation that involves red blood
cells which contain markers which trick the virus into attaching
to them instead of T-cells. Since red blood cells contain no DNA,
the virus is deactivated. This helps keep the infection in check.
The majority of Africans lack this mutation, which may explain why
they suffer from a disproportionate percentage of infections,
even those born and raised in North America and Europe. They seem
especially susceptible to the virus.

HOW COULD THEY DOCUMENT THAT. I HAD MY VIRUS GROWN IN A CULTURE IN 1983. I TOOK THE TEST SHORTLY BEFORE THAT AND IT WAS NEGATIVE, ONLY IN 1990 DID I TURN ANTIBODY POZ.

Hello Ryan. Compared to you I'm an HIV teenager: I was diagnosed HIV+
just over thirteen years ago.

Like you, I've never had any HIV related symptoms or illnesses. Unlike
you, I've never taken any HIV medication.

If you've read the messages I post here you will realise that I'm,
shall we say, skeptical about HIV. To be blunt about it, I don't
believe HIV causes AIDS or that HIV even exists.

I was wondering why you took HIV medication when it has such a
negative affect on your health.

Perhaps, in some ways, I can understand your position. I haven't had
a CD4 count done for almost a year; my last results were around the
hundred mark. Previous to that I hadn't had my CD4 counted for
several years. Of course following my results last year I was
pressurised and offered bribes to take HIV drugs, but I refused them.

I must admit I feel a bit left out of the whole HIV thing. A bit like
being part of a football team, but not playing and watching games from
the subs bench.

U HAVETO REMEMBER HIV IS A VERY SLOW DISEASE. IF I WERE U I WOULD NOT WAIT TO TAKE SOME OF THE NEWER DRUGS. WAITING TILL U GET SICK COULD PUT YOUR LIFE AT RISK. I WAS DIAGNOSED IN 83 THE ONLY OTHER MEN THAT HAVE BEE POZ THAT LONG HAVE TAKED MEDS. I
PERSONALLY THINK MANY EARLY DEATHS WERE DUE TO REINFECTION. U CAN GET DIFFERENT STRAINS OF HIV. THERE IS NOW A SUPER STRAIN THAT KILS IN 5 YEARS EVEN WITH DRUGS.

Hey,

Id be interested to connect. You wrote about your mum....Just wondering how she's doing and how your experience was growing up with a positive mother and how you think it effected your relationship, her mental health and how you dealt with it also. If
you care to share. Im in the same boat as you, my mum must have contracted it in 82/83 and i was borne in 84 and am negative. Its been a real journey and im curious to know how its shaped other people.

Best wishes

In 1981, I was 13 years old. And, I lost my virginity that year to a wonderfully loving man of 23. HIV/AIDS scared me so much during the '80s and '90s that I mostly chose abstinence over sexual encounters. I I've had 3 loving relationships in my life. My
1st relationship lasted 1.5 years. My 2nd partner and I were together for 8 years. The 1st four years of our relationship was heavenly. Then, he seemed to change. His mood swings and increased secrecy puzzled me. It was a constant roller coaster ride.
Yet. I loved him unconditionally and respected his privacy. I discovered during our final year together that he was diagnosed HIV+ in the 4th year of our relationship, so he chose to not tell me. One time (during our 6th year together) we didn't use a
condom. This is when I must have been affected with the virus. I was formally diagnosed in February 2004. My partner died of Aids in March 2004. I was so stressed from working 60 hours a week, visiting my partner in the hospital daily, going to 3 wakes
in one week, etc. That I conceded to go on HIV meds. And, as a healthy vegetarian and naturalist. I detest taking meds and going to doctors. It has been 14 years. I'm now legally married to my husband (still amazed we can legally marry in our lifetime).
He's known of my HIV+ status since day 1 and truly loves me. I remember taking care of AIDS patients during my 20s when I worked in the medical field in the '80s and early '90s. Both friends and patients suffered terrible deaths. But, no matter who the
victims were, I always gave them love, respect, peace and healing energy with a friendly smile. Later I would cry on my time. Yet, when I was in their presence, it was their time. We all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I love my 2nd
partner and I still miss him every day...😊

You guys realize you are posting on a 10 year old thread right? And that “Ryan” hasn’t posted since March 2008? I don’t doubt Ryan is real but it could be likely that this “Ryan” was simply an old school catfish before it was an actual thing
and MTV had a show about it. But I think the best advice would be to stop researching it, if one thing should be clear by now it is that the law of attraction exists and James Allen knew what he was talking about when he wrote “ as a man thinketh”
over a hundred years ago. The more the think about something and make it real in your head the realer it becomes.
