Times are changing

[HerryTheHerp]

One of the hardest things for all of us when we get the diagnosis is wondering what other people will think and how they will react to us afterwards. We worry about stigma, telling partners, and what others will do when they find out we have these little viruses inside of us.

 

Today as I was doing my morning news roundup, I came across this story on Yahoo. It's about one of the things we all fear; being "outed." While the outing itself is truly horrific and unacceptable, read this story, but don't focus on it. Read through the comments. Focus on those. Join the discussion. You'd be surprised how many total strangers are standing up for this woman right now and saying "Having an STD isn't fun, but it's no reason to be ashamed."

 

Tide's rising. Get in the boat. It's time to set sail and see what's over the horizon. I've got a feeling there's a beautiful sunrise just getting warmed up.

Just posted on the discussion. This is totally reprehensible. So glad to see people supporting her and saying she should sue for more.
