Yes, I lived through the pain of losing two friends

My friend JJ.
We had lost touch for several years, but I kept looking for him and then the first week in Jan. I thought I had found him on My Space. So I contacted one of his contacts and found out he had passed away a week and a half before. I think that was what hit the hardest.
I mean, I knew that it was possible because he was positive, but it was that it had JUST happened.
That night, I played every Madonna song I owned as loud as I could and cried til I could cry no more.
When I found out i was pregnant, he offered to marry me..and I know he would of if I had been up for it. We used to play hooky from work and go to the zoo...or just hang out. I miss him so much!
The main thing that hurts me now, is that when I hear people talking about how hey can not stand gay people, I think back to when he told me all those times he wondered if he had not been told his whole life that he was gay, if he would have been gay.
So essentially, because of people ignorance, I lost a great Friend and the world lost a great person. He was only 30.

Yes, a dear friend died of AIDS at the age of 21. He received a tainted blood transfusion at the age of 6. He was straight, a virgin and never did drugs. AIDS does not discriminate.

My dad died of AIDS. I was 14 when he died- it was in 1991. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever, ever felt and I really miss him.

I have lots several sets of friends, and dozens of Names Project volunteers that I have worked with over the years.
One learns to try not to have "survivor's guilt," and to remember them, but also to move on.

More than a dozen.
Oddly, however, I felt like when my partner and I were both HIV negative, we would have long lives together. Instead, he was diagosed with cancer and died at age 43.

Yes, but not someone I knew before they contracted the disease.
Nor someone I was involved with intimately nor someone in my family.
