Café Discovery: AIDS news
It has been my custom over the past couple of years to observe World AIDS Day by opening a diary somewhere (tomorrow at Daily Kos is my plan this year) called Sharing Our AIDS Stories.
I started that off telling about my therapist and my friend, Kurt Wilhelm. Then I invited people to tell their own stories. The response was nearly overwhelming. I endeavored then, as I will tomorrow, to read and answer every post, until I got some helpers towards the end. At first the majority of comments were by people who talked about their friends or family who had died or who were living with AIDS, but as the day went on, more and more people living with AIDS started telling their stories.
It will be a little tougher tomorrow since it is a Monday and I will have to be at work for most of that time. Sadly, they expect me to work when I am at work.
As a lead up to tomorrow, I provide some links to some current AIDS stories in the news. But first a poem:

Sharing our AIDS Stories II
Last year I posted a diary on World AIDS Day asking people if there was interest in Sharing our AIDS Stories. I started that off telling about my therapist and (I hope) my friend, Kurt Wilhelm (link goes to my nearly abandonned personal blog…there aren’t enough hours in a day).
Then I invited people to tell their own stories. The response was nearly overwhelming. I endeavored then, as I will today, to read and answer ever post, until I got some helpers towards the end. At first the majority of comments were by people who talked about their friends or family who had died or who were living with AIDS, but as the day went on, more and more people living with AIDS started telling their stories.
