Hey MadPoet. Its surprising the amount of information that is out there regarding the silence in the Reagan years. Ive found a little and posted it on your Blog. It will be interesting to see what comments come from them if any. What I find sad is that people equate HIV with other diseases such as heart disease. You dont see someone with heart disease discriminated against because of it? Not to the extent that people living with HIV

I read some where that some of the drugs HIV patients take may be worse than HIV symptoms, if this is true, why take them? But at the same time you are living with HIV and have been for years so they must help some.
