Looking for HIV support
I have been positive for 24 years and am looking for some sort of support. I am an American that lives in Mexico. I was hoping to find some support on the internet.
Thus far the results of my attempts have been abysmal.
I have been banned or booted from sites for asking questions like:
1. How did you become infected?
2. Are you open about your HIV status in non-sexual situations?
3. How many of you have had unsafe sex with a consenting HIV partner?
4. Which scientists? (When confronting an opinion prefaced by “scientists say”)
My other experiences with internet support include inundation with religion and/or “spiritual support”. Also, omg, lol, hehehe, brb,wb, cool,hot and the like!
The reality is that once again my life is being challenged by HIV and I am searching for ways to live. During the last two decades, I have found a number of helpful techniques and ideas. However, as my life has become more complex in virtually every way, I am now once again grappling for workable systems.
My hope is to find support means most probably a pen pal. Though I am open to other forms of support.
