HIV an watcing ,observations....

Pros: Over the years i`ve spoken with many people that have had HIV,some from school an others that i meet in life some will not only talk they will ask for more than conversation,when they feel like no one love`s them or a partner has passed. To those that have ever had a friend or have knowen a person with this it can change you or some to be one with a compassion for those that you have meet in life, the loss of a partner is a hard one for those to deal with an some men or women that offer themself`s because of thier sense of need on the sexual part sometime`s forget,that a freind will say no! an they either except or do not comprehend depending of thier state in life. Those with respect stay with some or they go to a group for support beside`s there doctor this P.W.A. an those not only look for some`s intrest they support an help others in need,de- pending on thier t-cells an the count an thier medication other thing`s like friendship is in couraged in those so they funct
Cons: HIV an identity will be asking to see where that person male or female , boy or girl meaning parents of those children can they identify those they know,or can they tell? some can only know sometime`s just like the doctor what thier friend or patient is feeling inside or outside this might be an expression in the face or the body`s reaction all part of the change of idenity, things to watch for are lesion`s a change in the skin surface,though this does not alway`s mean the best, the health is another idenitity an looks tell the most another is interaction an where the facial expression is, whether the face or eye`s appear to be futher or the skin seem`s to be sunk in,apperance a change i don`t care is another those that have been hurt sometime`s feel they should do it anyway`s to thier the one`s they know or love, that is another sign that someone has to tell you or another that should be in the first part take the test, to see for that person your with feels the same
Other thoughts: Thing`s not to give into are other`s who will laugh with scorn i would`nt worry about those cause those are`nt your friends or your homie`s those are the ones that some get caught with,other`s know sometime`s from thier dreams they have in life, an how they see themself`s an where they are both parts of the first an second part , enjoy a laugh or a cartoon cause it`s what some think is scorn from those they love though it`s a side they know, if the other friend`s say they don`t want to deal with that part an don`t think you have that part of this in you, you say that`s my my friend or my homie, that`s where where they fit like the man or the women,boy or girl it`s those you know in a closing, an if some in your family say let me be there i say yes! that respect in observing an idenity,an thanks from Beta. To rate what you read is not to put anything of personal an fill it in at those star`s.

Travel to US with hiv...

Pros: None
Cons: Traveling to the USA with HIV There are two things to be aware of if you are HIV+ and travelling to the USA: The law relating to visiting the country if you are HIV+ and How to enter the country legally The law relating to entering the USA if you are HIV+ A detailed history of the bar on people with HIV entering the USA can be found by doing an internet search. However, in essence, this is what happened and where we are today, to the best of our knowledge and from feedback we have received from our clients: The USA, along with other countries, has restrictions on the entry to the country if you are HIV+. In 1987, because of the widespread fear of HIV, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) introduced an administrative policy restricting entry to the USA. However, in 1991 they reversed their position and they tried to reverse the policy. Even though two Adminstrations (one Republical, the other Democrat) attempted to reverse the policy, Congress turne
Other thoughts: Update: October 2008 The Congressional entry restriction had been lifted, but that a second entry restriction remained - contained in administrative law (regulations) published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). There have been two developments since then: In the media it was mentioned a process announced by George W. Bush on World AIDS Day 2006 to extend the four categories under which an HIV entry waiver is easily available (business, medical treatment, conferences and visiting friends/family) to include a fifth streamlined category for pleasure travellers. A year and ten months later, DHHS finally announced this process has been completed and HIV-positive tourists can now access the streamlined process by contacting the US Embassy in Australia. For details, please visit: http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/pr_1222704743103.shtm It was also reported it was likely the DHHS would remove the second entry restriction contained i
