Health Is Valuable +



If you haven't heard, yes. I am diagnosed positive with HIV. And as today marks the 27th Anniversary of its discovery, I would like to share this with you.

Having HIV is not like what it was in the past decade. People living with HIV/AIDS itself will understand. People without it are often encased in a stigma of uncertainty.



However, it's not about the human immunodeficiency virus I am talking about here. No, I don't have that, so you can breathe again. Think of HIV+ as this:

Health IS Valuable (Positive)



Current HIV/AIDS education has often most likely fallen onto alot of deaf ears. They've tried everything from print ads, tv slots, movies, flyers, and millions and millions of dollars spent on HIV/AIDS Awareness programs. How many percent of respondents actually give a fuck? (pun intended). Yet the number of people infected keeps rising and rising by the second.

Health Is Valuable (Positive) is a viral campaign started on Facebook today, which made a huge handful of people nearly shat their pants when he changed his status update. The stigma of HIV+ being AIDS has been too prevalent in the last century, which was evident from some comments he received from doing this. His facebook status was merely: "Evangeliss is HIV+" followed by "Health Is Valuable (Positive)" as its subcomment. We do not fear it as much as we used to. We hear about it, we brush it off our shoulders. We think. We even celebrate it.

The Health Is Valuable program is to re-educate the masses with regards to HIV/AIDS Awareness. Value YOUR life. Be positive about it. Whether you ARE indeed HIV+ with AIDS or not. It's time to change your mindset. Already I've seen a few people changing their status to the same and increasing by the hour! We've heard it already: "Wear protection. Don't share needles. Be safe"... But do we? Everyday? And why do I have to "joke" about this, one asked.. This is no joke. Many people learn things, but the information goes from one ear and out the other. This is a shock-and-awe approach. It makes you tremble with fear of the reality.

Change your stigma. Stop your ignorance. If you don't have it, doesn't mean you won't. So you might as well believe that you ALREADY have HIV+ (of course, my version of it). THINK. RESPECT. PROTECT. Together we can end HIV prejudice. If you dare, tell the world you are indeed HIV+. Say it with me: HEALTH IS VALUABLE (POSITIVE). This is one HIV+ you wanna spread! And I dare you to do the same by doing a "Hi. My name is _______ & I am HIV+" journal.

Welcome almost a month passed since my last update... it doesn't really matter does it?

well news news new:

- My camera died, although it isn't clinicaly dead, it doesn't focus anymore...

- I really must drink less, or else I won't be able to fit on my costume for Fibda (not really a new but since I'm drinking even harder...)

- P.S. The character is Jirou Mochizuki from Black Blood Brothers

- Also, time seems to pass by fast, or probably is because I'm attending classes. anyway, There going fine I guess... Spanish sucks because it's so easy that complicates things. I'm still giving history on portuguese class... the usual I guess. But we started to really translate stuff on english so that's a good thingy

- I know I'm forgetting stuff but I sincerely don't remember.

- BTW, How are you guys/girls?

- Hope you're all okay, most of you are studying so study hard and have fun... and remember, resting is also a part of life so get enough rest.


Good bye and see ya later

And so I've completed 25 years of my life...

it had its ups and downs... I always think of the ups before the downs... ok ok... I don't think of the downs... the downs think of me

It's been fun most of the times... Meet ppl I wanna keep forever... meet some that I thought that way but it ended up diferently... never worrying, they will be happy (i sincerely hope that)

Fun stuff I started doing...

Cosplay: which I now am an Addict

Photography: HELL YEAAAAH

Travelling: HELL HELL HELL YEAH Multiple times... (Yes, when you can travel... do so)

though, I wasn't always as going as now... I used to be a shy kid... really really shy...

well, guess I screwed up on that one right lol...

there are wonderous amounts of info I could say about me, but then again... it's useless info ...

Anyone who needs me... i'll be around... if you don't need me, I'll still be around... (I believe I'm like a cockroach... After a nuclear blast, I'm still around XD lol)

well, after this obvious and useless chunk of my life, which you didn't even knew anything new about me, I'll leave for today

I just wanna say thanks

A sincerely, and deeply felt, Thanks... My friends are my world, and my world kicks ass \o/

Happy birthday to me and to all of you who make me what I am (even when I am the most boring person alive )

^^

Well it seems I got a Job... I admit it, I won't like it, it will literally kill every single cell of my body with the effort and probably ruin most of my sleep... Still I'm kinda relieved I got something... I'm in a pinch this year, with college to pay and stuff

That Also means that... I might not be around for the next couple of months... never worrying though... I'll come check this out every day

well See ya later ppl

Also... I'll be opening art trade. Since I only do photography, I can only present stuff in photography ^^ I guess it won't have much appeal in photography as it does in drawings or manipulations, but that's the only thing I know how to do (even if i'm not that good)

Since it's my first time trying something like this I'll be only doing five art trades, so anyone who wants just note me with whatever you want (I'll note you back of course), and I'll try to be faithfull to what you asked for ^^

The news are over for now, But I'm kinda happy how my results ended out ^^ now I just have to wait

Have fun everyone
