on December 12, 2005 I was working aboard the NCL America Pride of Aloha and I received a phone call informing me that I needed to schedule an appointment to go in and speak with a Doctor at the Maricopa County Public Health Clinic. Seeing as I was in Hawai'i for at least six months this was not an option and I spoke with an HIV counsler and he broke the news to me. The whole story can be read in a previous blog.
5 years later I am doing wonderful. I am healty and on medication that is keeping the virus under control. I am currently undetectable and have a great CD4 count.
Please get tested and know your status. Most importantly keep the conversation going
