NEED FRIENDS THAT CAN RELATE TO HIV+ STATUS TIRED OF BEING ALONE AND LOOKING FOR FRIENDS, MAYBE MORE ONE DAY. SOMEONE THAT TRULY UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE ALL GO THROUGH HAVING HIV. I'M A STRAIGHT HIV+ U = U FEMALE RAISING MY 7-1/2-YEAR-OLD SON ON MY OWN (LONG STORY). I ALREADY HAVE 2 GROWN CHILDREN, A DAUGHTER 29 WHO IS A NURSE AND A SON ALMOST 22 WHO IS IN US ARMY ACTIVE AND I WAS MARRIED TO THEIR FATHER FOR ALMOST 18 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN DIVORCED FOR 12 YEARS NOW, AND PRACTICALLY STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN ON MY OWN WITH THE YOUNGEST (FATHER NOT IN THE PICTURE). I'VE BEEN IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION NOW FOR OVER 28 YEARS STARTING OUT AS A MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST AND NOW A CERTIFIED MEDICAL CODER WORKING IN MY HOME. I HAVE THE SUPPORT OF VERY LOVING PARENTS, AND ALSO HAVE 2 BIG SISTERS. HOPING TO MAKE SOME LIFE-LONG FRIENDS IN HERE TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO THAT UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH AND ALSO FOR MY SON TO HAVE A MENTOR IN HIS LIFE, AND MAYBE ONE DAY FOR ME TO FIND MY "BETTER HALF/SOUL MATE", HOPEFULLY THE ONE GOD INTENDED FOR ME TO HAVE ALL ALONG IN MY LIFE, AS WELL AS FOR MY SON TO HAVE A FATHER FIGURE TO LOOK UP TO IN HIS LIFE. I AM VERY OUTGOING, LOVE BEING IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS, GOING TO THE BEACH ESPECIALLY AND REALLY ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WATER SCENE, LOVE SUMMER-TIME ESPECIALLY, RIDING 4-WHEELERS, MUD RIDING, FISHING, GRILLING, ETC. I'M A COUNTRY GIRL AT HEART AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY MODERN COUNTRY MUSIC, BUT ALSO LIKE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC. MY DISLIKES ARE MISINFORMED, ILL-EDUCATED, SELF-RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE WHO DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING HIV POSITIVE AND HAVING AIDS. THEY NEED TO READ UP ON THIS AND GET THEIR FACTS STRAIGHT. I'M TIRED OF TELLING PEOPLE I AM HIV+ AND GETTING TREATED LIKE I HAVE THE PLAQUE. I REALLY THINK THERE ARE A LOT MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE HIV+, BUT JUST DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO GET TESTED OR THEY WOULD RATHER NOT KNOW AND KEEP SPREADING IT AROUND.
