Gratitude

[Pozguyinchi]

With Thanksgiving coming soon I thought it was a good time to reflect and give gratitude.  I know it’s not popular outside of this blog to say it but I am grateful I am HIV positive. I was diagnosed at an early age when treatment was not readily available. It helped me to first really prioritize what was important and second free myself of the stigma associated with it. I sometimes think what my life would be like if I wasn’t poz at 19.  I don’t think I would be as happy. I was able to live my life sexually with freedom. I also live with an openness with my family, friends, and coworkers. Everyone knows my status and I am proud of it. Being a whore and poz has been a gift with relationships too. I know that sex is a feeling nothing more. Men (and women I guess) have a need that gets satisfied with an act. I know that relationships have an added benefit of sexual release but it’s not a requirement. Lastly I will say that my status has not defined me but rather empowered me to be an advocate, mentor and example to others that are either searching for their gift or living with it.

You are a lucky man in several areas.

 

To be able to live out and proud, with seemingly no regrets.

 

To have an open relationship with your family.

 

To have an open and honest relationship with your doctor.

 

To be able to openly enjoy your sexuality, in the ways you choose to experience it.

 

Again, you are a lucky man.  It is so unfortunate that many of us can’t do that.

 

Big hugs and Happy Thanksgiving.

Poz at 74 and honest I am glad I am.  This bug has a massive influence on me at my coming out was in the 1970's.  When GRID hit it felt a hell of a lot like Covid felt when it hit (and MPOX after that).  HIV poz isn't a moral defect.  It's a virus; and one that at end has brought a ton of benefit to humankind.  Consider the host of new treatments that come out every year now.  

If you ever have occasion to get to Wisconsin @Pozguyinchi you have a standing invitation to my home dungeon.
