Amazing people keep coming into my life as a result of my disclosure of my HIV status: a graduate school friend who lost a brother to AIDS; Wendell Potter, a nationally known health care advocate who was instrumental in connecting me with The Huffington Post; my public relations friend in D.C. who continues to donate all this time as he lost a brother to AIDS; Mark King, who provided me with the opportunity to publicly disclose my status; my web consultant; my graphic designer. These are key people, but there are many more. Believe me: This crusade to educate and change attitudes and behaviors can be very lonely. One needs support. Unlike feeling like you are alone when you come out, you can really be alone when you come out as HIV-positive, because so few people openly discuss being HIV-positive.
