This Is For The Heterosexual People.
Most of HIV deals with gay men. Straight people with HIV probably feel left out with support, help, or somebody to talk to.

Or how do you address when people say, "it will never happen to me, I live a moral lifestyle."
I speak to ALL people it hurts me that BECAUSE of the new medication people are going so haphazardly into unprotected sex I try to get them focused on IT IS STILL A HORRIBLE DISEASE 💯👌🤘👋👍🧐☢️🚧😭😇🙏💯

My doctor says it’s good for syphilis which he says is out of control in the United States
