Making yourself happy by proxy doesn't sound too bad. Were you mostly okay with how you prioritize things (minus the "flake" part) or is that something you're looking to tweak?
& Hi, I'm one of the kids who went to your talk at UNR tonight. It was good. Very good. You're the first person with HIV that I've knowingly met & I loved your story. I was really surprised how you spoke of most people reacting to you telling them about being +. I think that was what I was least expecting. It was really inspiring. Educational too, but the inspiring part hit more personally. I'm (finally) dealing with my sexuality, and it was just really nice to hear about people reacting positively to something you were worried they'd freak out over. I could relate to lots of what you were saying about being very worried about telling folks because of their reputations or how it would influence them.
As per you're main message, you definitely made it clear to know our status and take precautions. I was paying attn to that too. I've not been in a situation to expose myself, but you got me thinking about talking to my younger brother. So thanks for that too. Your trip was not wasted, and I'm personally glad that there were so few, because it made the night so much more personal feeling (& made me much more comfy). It was like a good conversation, where we just happened to listen more than talk.
