I found out tonight that one of my best friends from high school recently found out he was HIV positive.
This is like my third good friend from high school to test positive. I feel so bad for them. I can not fantom testing positive.
I also feel helpless. What I am suppose to tell them? I hope you have a good five years? I know that the life span is better now and that people are living longer.
But these are all false hopes. Given to us by the goverment or the media or someone.
AIDS is still real. It still happens. In small towns like Piggott, Arkansas. It still is real.
At least to me it is. IT's real and it scares the shit out of me.
I wish I get that point across to the gay youth of today. to everyone, not just gay people.
AIDS is the bogging man we feared as a child, AIDS is under our beds waiting to come out and get us, The only thing that can protect us from the boogie man is to protect ourselves.

please- be smart.
