How do you keep up with your monthly finances, and still stay afloat? I can keep up with my monthly bills, and daily living just fine. Then when the doctor bills come along, I just can't handle it all. So then I'm late on paying bills. I get food stamps and go to food pantries, but that's not enough. Sometimes I get help through HOPWA (housing opportunity people with AIDS), but that's only for 3 months. What kind of help do you get to keep afloat every… read more
Scott, you are correct in that Trump is passing a bill that will fund HIV prevention, testing, and treatment in areas with the highest statistics of new HIV infections. The black gay population has… read more
Not to be morbid, but Estate and End of Life Pre-Planning is something we all should consider. My partner and I completed this about 10 years ago. The Pre-Planning for Funerals is transferrable to anywhere we are, within the US. A friend of ours owns a Funeral Home and did our pre-planning for us and to our wishes.

Sometimes HIV and its medications wear on us.
Whether it be weight, arthritis or other ailments like facial wasting , it can take its toll.....🙄
Has HIV affected your looks?
Somewhat
Ricky is the lookout for a South Bronx Crackhouse. He looks up and down the street, past decaying buildings, looking for customers and the police. Ricky’s 25 and looks 45. He’s an HIV+ crack addict. A black woman, who looks like a homeless, bag lady approaches Ricky. “They open,” she mutters. “Yeah. They slammin’ too!” Rick says. The skinny black woman hurries into the building. ”Bitch can suck a dick!” Rick says to me. “I hit that last week!” A big, black limousine with tinted windows pulls… read more
Interesting story, yet is true in the sense that I lived on 156th 3rd Ave in the Bronx born and raised, and back then I watched lots of crack head in the park around the corner from where I lived, I… read more
Sometimes, the news of a diagnosis that we are not prepared for or surgery catches us off guard. What Are some of the things you do to offset the stress?
