Because I do not want anyone pointing fingers at me. I said hi to you and as I said before I use this web site to say things I would not normally say to anyone face to face.

Too many curious people out there who want to just know who I am period.

On the contrary I do not distance myself. I am very friendly and accepting. On Saturday a friend of mine refused to touch me - my friend. Who are you a stranger to treat me better if I tell you?

I did say hi, I did not say I am dush but I was right there. I was debating weather to say that I was there then I thought oh well, no harm.

I do meet people halfway. I told a friend in confidence about my situation and she told other people. Now all I get are phone calls and emails about my status. People do not want to touch me and even talk to me. How sure am I that you won't feel self righteous and want to "save" others from me. I do reach out, I do not discriminate against HIV negative people, I just want them to know how lucky they are and not to be scared of HIV positive people.

Ignore? Do you really want to know who I am? I mingled and danced with you. Just because I did not say I am dush does not mean I did not hang out with you all.
My apologies if I was supposed to introduce myself but I felt that we would have more fun if you did not know. I'd rather not know your reaction than have people pointing fingers at me. This is still the net.

Good enough for me. Like I said it was just a thought that I had at the moment.
Just remember things are never what they seem
