The complexities of dealing with HIV infection are immense. Who's Positive is very excited to begin work for a new feature on our Web site entitled "Infected, Affected: Real Stories, Real People." If you have a story about how HIV infected and affected you or someone you know, please share it with us.
We're looking for stories from you, your partners, family members, friends, and loved ones who have dealt with a positive HIV diagnosis. We want to hear everything-your fears, hopes, sadness, anger, and memories. Let it out. Tell us how you think or know you became infected. Tell us about loved ones that have passed away due to complications surrounding AIDS. We want visitors to read your stories, know they are not alone in dealing with HIV/AIDS, and think about how HIV/AIDS affects the lives of so many. Your voice can make a difference.
Be sure to include your location, age, gender, and contact information. You may also want to include your name and a photograph. Your contact information will remain confidential, but is required so that Who's Positive can verify information and protect the identity of all persons. We reserve the right to edit submissions; however, we will contact you before we use your story. Who's Positive may also provide a channel on our Web site through which people can communicate confidentially with those whom we feature.
Finally, if you would like to continue to write for us you can write a "journal" on a regular basis - go to http://www.whospositive.org/journals
All submissions will be reviewed. Please send your story to: mypozstory@whospositive.org
