Welcome to POZIAM

After discovering that half of all new infections are people 25 years old and younger , I felt that those numbers are too large to ignore, and that it was my duty to stand up and do something !
A few years ago I became a campaign ambassador for Hopes Voice , and involved in their Does HIV Look Like Me? campaign. From that moment on, I have dedicated myself to spreading the word,not the disease !
POZIAM was designed so others around the world could share their stories and relate to others. When I was first diagnosed with HIV, I had no one to talk to other then doctors. I didn't want to hear all that medical talk. I wanted to talk to someone just like myself. Someone who felt the pain I felt. Someone who could relate to my feelings. Someone who was HIV+.
POZIAM was designed to inspire others like my father inspired me. Although he died of lung cancer and not HIV, his will to never give up inspired his only son to speak up and fight his battle with HIV/AIDS with words of existence.
Yes we do still exist, and we will continue to exist until this epidemic is stopped. The reason I have chosen to share my story , is to show the word that spreading the word and not the disease is just as effective as using a condom. Most people are afraid of the unknown. Most people don't think they know someone who is HIV+. People don't realize that their neighbor,coworker,friend,cousin, sibling or child could be HIV+.
In hopes of Inspiring,
