Hi, my name is Soraya and I'm HIV+.

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 1, 2008, 11:46 AM




If you haven't heard, yes. I am diagnosed positive with HIV. And as today marks the 27th Anniversary of its discovery, I would like to share this with you.

However, it's not about the human immunodeficiency virus I am talking about here. No, I don't have that so you can breathe again. Think of HIV+ as this:

Health IS Valuable (Positive)

Read the ^estudio Journal. It's a must!


It's actually worrying to see how A LOT of people still have myths in mind when talking about AIDS.

:bulletred: NO, you're not gonna get infected if you touch a HIV+.
:bulletred: NO, you're not gonna get infected if you share your stuff with a HIV+.
:bulletred: NO, you're not gonna get infected if you kiss a HIV+ (and I mean, mouth kissing, unless he/she has an injury, AIDS flows through the blood, then the semen, then the vaginal secretions, not the saliva).

:bulletred: YES, you can get infected if you have sexual relations without precaution (condom, use it, dammit).
:bulletred: YES, you can get infected sharing syringes.
:bulletred: Repeat with me, The AIDS can get infected through the BLOOD (the primary cause), the SEMEN, and the VAGINAL SECRETIONS. Also from a mother to her baby either being pregnant, or at the time to give them born, or through the maternal milk.
The skin contact DOES NOT infect, the sweat DOES NOT infect, the tears DO NOT infect, the urine DOES NOT infect, the saliva DOES NOT infect.


AWARENESS, please. We have many information to prevent it, so get informed and don't complain later. YOU can stop this.

Appreciating the appreciation

I said to myself 'I herd you liek art :iconsecretplz:' and I responded 'hehehe, yes I does', then, after a long talk, we've both decided that I'm gonna feature not only my watchers, but random deviants with random and great deviantions. Because I feel it.

Hopefully we'll be able to cure HIV completely some day soon. I don't have it, but I have sympathy for the difficulties that it causes people who do :hug:

I don't have it either, but we have to be aware of it because we can be HIV affected someday...
