Do you know or have you known anyone who is HIV+ or has AIDS?

Question

I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone. It's a horrible disease. Luckily I have never known anyone with AIDS or that is HIV+ (that I know of). I was just thinking about that today and wondering how many people have been directly affected by it. My sympathies to any one affected by it.

Answer 1

Yes many. I do volunteer work with B.A.S.I.C.

Blessings )O(

Answer 2

yes i know people with hiv and have known people with aids. i also know people with survivors remorse (a very sad condition that leaves those who have lost a loved one to aids with feelings of guilt and in response they begin acting reckless with sex in an effort to contract the disease).

Answer 3

I know of a male cheerleader that has HIV but it hasn't turned into to Aids yet, he has had it for years and take alot of meds to stop it from turning into the full blown Aids, and last I heard it hasn't yet.

Answer 4

Yeah, I used to splice & edit tape (before digital editing was all that popular) for an HIV awareness radio program called, "AWARE". The founder and president (my boss) of the public service program is HIV positive. (He also says so in all his shows).

Answer 5

I know a few people with it. Lost a very dear friend to it about 4 years ago.

Answer 6

No, and I don't plan to know anyone with AIDS or HIV.

Answer 7

Aids took the life of my bro-n-law.
my niece has is hiv positive.

Answer 10
