Thank you Diva dear for this thread.

I have not had anyone truly die yet from AIDS but I have a few close friends fighting it as we speak. The closest to me is Ajay, someone who has been as family. Showing me hope in myself, giving me life. His diagnosis came as a surprise to him and all of us. And since, he has in theory lost his life. I know that I want nothing more then to give him hope, purpose, and joy for each day. I try to smother him gently with love so he knows he isn't alone. For each day we wake up it is meant to live and enjoy, to the fullest. My thoughts are with him, and all who have been affected by this disease.
