For many, there was only the long and worrisome wait for the signs of infection. Once those signs appeared, no treatment for the virus was available. I personally cared for many, many patients in this era, and I am thankful that those days are over. Today, HIV testing is accurate, widely available, and often free—and treatment can help people living with HIV enjoy long, healthy lives, especially when they get diagnosed early. The good news is that more people are being tested fo...

Rugby Captain introduces us for 10 minutes, I talk about MSF for 10 minutes and a nurse talks about the services we provide, including treatment that is given to those who may have been in contact with HIV.   Our hosts give out free condoms, as do we in our clinic and all places of work. Later in the vehicle, rugby captain and I are chatting about condoms. “Do you think we could give our female condoms in the clinic?” he asks. I joke about how difficult female condoms are to use. Then he explains: “Women on long bus journeys wear them. Just in case they get raped”. I stop smiling. We had another earthquake last week. It woke me up. I don’t know the...

He is also a freelance writer and spoken word/ rap lyricist. German folklore/legend tells of a story about a Pied Piper and the townspeople of Hamlin who agreed to a sum of money to be paid for the Pied Piper’s pest extermination services. This job was to be performed in order to rid the town of the rats and mice- which carried the fleas- that caused the bubonic plague or “Black Death”. After the work was successfully completed, the townspeople reneged on the payment. Then, upon hatching a diabolical plot, the Pied Piper cleverly donned a colorful, extravagant-looking outfit, accompanied with a musical pipe instrument, and played his music throughout the town drawing ... 2sides2ron blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=553337 Thu, 19 Apr 2007 04:21:00 +0100 553337 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=493369&cid=t_215510_135_f&fid=35263&url=http%3A%2F%2Fronhudson.blogspot.com%2F2006%2F12%2F21-years-of-knowledge-that-i-am-hiv.html Today is the 21st anniversary of having learned my HIV status in 1985. It was a different time then, but stigma, fear and ignorance still surround HIV/AIDS. I am trying to help change that by talking openly and honestly about my situation and by encouraging others to do so as well.In June of this year, I founded the International Carnival of Pozitivities (ICP) to help bring HIV/AIDS back into the forefront of discussion. This forum is a place to learn the truth about HIV/AIDS, its prevention, treatment and direction.Since the advent of the "cocktail", mainstream media and pharmaceutical marketing campaigns would have us believe that you can just take a pill or two and all will be well with you if you are HIV+. They do not talk about the estimate that it costs somewhere around $20K-$25K/yea... 2sides2ron blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=493369 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 15:01:00 +0100 493369
