I too have lost so many good friends to such an insidious infection. They make advances and learn more every day. I have many friends that must face this battle on a daily basis. To be honest, we all have to face this every day. Just know that there are those out there that stand by you and with you. I pray every night that the scientist may be able to find a cure.

I have been taking so many pills for so long. I have felt like a lepper in my life. The divide between my career and my health has been hard. To think that some day, possibly, I can erase a one night mistake of the past is remarkable. Imagine if every person that tried smoking pot in college suddenly contracted a terminal illness related to it. What would they feel like? What would they think? How would they survive as insurance companies dumped them and jobs shunned them? It would be remarkable that I may be able to live out a HIV free life some day. It is difficult to reconcile with all the wonderful loved ones I have lost. My first boyfriend Eric, my best friend David and the countless others. They will not be here to celebrate. But I will press on and salute thoose that sturggle to find a cure. To borrow a phrase from one of my favorite movies ever, "Never Give Up, Never Surrender." Twice this disease has tried to kill me, and I have fought back to live a bigger and better life. Now maybe I can be there when it all ends. That would trusely be something remarkable cherish.

I don't know whether I'll collapse from exhaustion or if I'll just see the vaccination as the dividing line in history, the way things now are pre and post-9/11. But, I can almost imagine a world free from HIV. Light at the end of the tunnel.

Shame America - you did so little for so long to help persons with HIV/AIDS.
