Lonely Wo There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being gay. It is completely natural-it’s something that you’re born with. Being gay does not harm anybody, nor does it pose any danger to society. Aggression, force, abuse, sexism, homophobia, racism, crime, greed, religious fanaticism, and toxic masculinity actually are a danger to society.

They already have to deal with the world judging them, the don't need you against them too.

It took a lot for you to admit this. But don't beat yourself because the end result is you came to knowledge and knowledge did not reject you and with understanding you passed it on to others.

My immune system has reconstituted itself and A perk of the medication is that you can't pass it on to your sexual partners as long as you continue taking the medication as directed and that means 2 pills for me once a day.

So let's make it known that my parents did talk about sex, drugs, and rock&roll. For me I feel as if it could have been more detailed (i.e. talk about HIV testing, resources, having specific conversations with our doctors, how to ask sexual partners about they sexual health and STD statuses, etc). My family is completely open about so many things. I stated a fact that parents should have more conversations about STDs (including HIV). Also, if schools are going to be offering sexual education in school they should use the model of comprehensive sexual education. Abstinence based education does not help a person if they choose to engage in sex. I really do hope that clarified things.

I feel like people need to be more aware of HIV. OK, so, I've known that my friend is HIV+ for years. She always told me she thought she got it from being raped, but today I find out it was just from some random guy. She doesn't even know his name. I don't think she's a slut or anything, and I don't think she's entirely to blame because of course the guy should have been a bit smarter. But at the same time, I just don't understand why she doesn't even know his name. That just doesn't make sense to me. People need to be more aware of the prevalence of HIV and maybe she would have waited a bit longer.

I have to agree with you to an extent PozLifeOfPatrick but people parents can't hold there hands in everything they do in life and people have to take responsibility for there actions as well, not you but I mean everyone in general.

I am doing great. Please check out some of my newer content.

[@lYNALIZE]

Thanks for sharing your story. I hope that your viral load remains undetectable and your t cells continue to rise. Stay strong and keep your head up and continue sharing your story. I am not HIV positive but your words still moved me. Also continue your physical regime; because looking good and feeling healthy is always the best revenge.

[@sarahacado1756]

I watched this video after watching the movie "The Normal Heart" on HBO, it was a great movie. The only thing I knew about HIV is the 50 minute class I had in highschool about the topic. Therefore, I decided to educate myself on this topic today. I am glad I had the opportunity to listen to your story. I hope nothing but the best for you and I pray that God gives you a prosperous life....Now I must return back to study for finals :(

Thanks for taking the time out to watch

The Poz+ Life of Patrick Patrick, I just wanted to say that I am a former soldier that have been to combat on more than one occasion, this video is so full of courage. My hats off to u young man, Thank u for showing me, the true meaning of courage

[@angelaf5040]

JB007 How immature... you don't wish a life long illness on anyone. What the hell is wrong with you? Go hate somewhere else. Its scary & brave for people to "put it out there", show some respect or go away!

What an inspiration, it takes Courage to do something like this. It makes me proud to see African American men doing something positive. By the way it was great seeing you at the 2015 Naesm Conference.

[@Tee-kc3pn]

Wow I'm sitting here crying listening to your journey....I don't have HIV but I can empathize with you...I am soo sorry that guy lied to you and knowingly gave you HIV....

[@isaacpowell1408]

Dude you stole my heart as Soon as I viewed. This needs to be on a bigger platform and it needs to be talked about in OUR community. I'm black and gay.......damn you really got me in my feelings right now. Much love nephew 😎

[@piperdawn6079]

Not to sound awkward but I like watching your videos but I like hearing you talk. You seem like an excellent conversation kind of guy c;

[@GliTchy_86]

Not exactly sure how I cam across this video, but the point is I did and myself not being a gay male and even a religious person I feel you need to live your life and be happy with who you are. Much respect for you for making this video, and in my opinion "Gay" people are the bravest people we have on earth. Hope all is well

[@PozLifeOfPatrick]

Thank you for your kind comments. Please check out my blog ThePozLife.com and let me know what you think

The Poz+ Life of Patrick hey i got a question do you have like a email or something id like to talk to you one on one if possible its nothing bad i just have a question about your story.

[@jacquelinealicea9543]

ITguy41 it take alot of guts to do this.

[@gorgeousg8704]

Patrick, I pray the best and a long life for you. Thank you for sharing, and wanting to help others. And I'm sorry the people that informed you weren't sympathetic, even supposed professionals are ignorant.

Send the message out it is a wrong lifestyle / men stop having sex with men send out the message please

My Daddy has had it for 23years and he is still here . He is 74 years old now !!

[@Patriciapote-uc3wr]

I just love Patrick honesty about the awareness of HIV he's an inspiration to those struggling with it and being afraid to tell there story.

[@shanadaschwiers3595]

If only I could create a cute for HIV!!😌😒

[@Ceelxaar]

Cure* :S

[@happyfatherof5164]

they would find it :D

[@dreamdiction]

HIV does not do any harm.

[@f.marshall8268]

You would be richer than Bill Gates

[@mishmila0167]

If more people that have it find out they do and can afford to take the meds to keep their count down, that would go far to eradicate it. That is the sad part. A lot of people can't afford it. Just what I've read out of curiosity. This should be a priority in health care. They need more funding for this.

[@johnhall8509]

God Bless you for telling your story, I have lost many many of my friends to HIV and I consider my self very lucky for I was very lose in my early life we have a tree here in the village that we tie white ribbons for all those have died of HIV there is no space left to tie, we lost so many young people its such a shame. I could say a lot more but will leave it here.

[@jesusisthetruth8529]

Jesus 💘 you and He is THE ONE to run to when things get painful/difficult in life! God made you and He cares!!!

[@kaydenevideo]

So inspiring, Patrick. I could identify with so much of what you said (my parents were military / religious, too. I really related to how you were raised, feeling invincible at 16, etc.). Your sense of humor and your positive outlook on life, in spite of everything that has happened, is what drew me in to this story. You are making a difference and affecting our society for the better with your videos. So thank you. Keep shining. Thank you for sharing your experience w/all of us. P.s. - LOL at the part where you spoke about the nurse who pretty much tried to get you to leave if you weren't having suicidal thoughts after she told you you were HIV positive. Forgive me, because that's not a funny situation at all. But the way you told that story and recounted how you felt - that was everything. You are funny.

[@sojournerliving]

You seem so transparent while sharing your story; which is refreshing. You have such an intoxicatingly uplifting spirit. Thank you for sharing.

[@robertthomas4466]

My friend,..PATRICK ..Do just as you said...Take care of your self...!!..Please don't hold the negative feeling inside...I watched the entire video feeling nothing but love for you..Although I am H.I.V. negative,...shit happens..Know that you are a good person ,.. Know that you are loved..There is a time and place for all things...Fear is the largest factor for most folk,.. so continue to honest with yourself ..WITH TIME, THE FEAR, DEPRESSION AND ALL THE OTHER, it too,.. will past... Your greatest support system is love...Keep as much around as possible and eat, dress, bath, walk, breathe,..all is love.. You are blessed and with you being strong, you never know how many lives you have touch..Do you,..PATRICK..love

[@Niani1975]

Just wanted to know how things are going for you today...

[@adlerfontus951]

Patrick you are a very strong man, may God bless you and keep watching you, you are doing an excellent job,you are amazing man,proud of you.

[@coppelliagibson5058]

You are such an amazing guy, your parents just be very proud. I am hiv negative but that doesn't mean that throughout life, it could never happened to me and that is why sharing these videos are an inspiration to both people who are hiv negative and also hiv positove. Keep up the good work and God bless you

[@shakiraturner8132]

I applaud you for the guts that you have !!!! You are such a brace man with coming out and speaking your truth!!! I don't know you but I love you for that !!! Built tough no matter what!!! Nothing but blessing from me to you honey! 💪🏽

[@tessaboatswain2668]

Listening to this young man I applaud you, not many people will do what you are doing. God is a forgiving God and you can make things even better with your life today by accepting Jesus Christ in your life by believing Jesus died on the cross of calvary for your sins He rose on the third day and is coming again to rapture his people those who believe in Him and living a life pleasing to Him. If you want to just say a simple prayer and He will save you. Lord Jesus I am a sinner and admit that I have sinned against you, and I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I have been living without you and heading towards a horrible eternity, but I want to have eternal life in heaven, and ask you to forgive me of all my sins, Jesus I receive you as my Lord and Saviour today, and I give my life to you. Help me to for you from today. Amen. If you really believe and prayer honestly Jesus will definitely forgive you of all your sins and save you. Jesus don't see you as you are today but He sees you as the finish work on the cross. And go to a Bible believing Church that preaches about Jesus Christ. God loves you and welcomes you just as you are.

[@ShanecaRene]

Awwww you are such a cutie pie..thank you for sharing your story..you are a very brave person..I wish you good health while you fight this ugly virus..when you talked about your family and how supportive they were I could feel the tears burn my eyes and stream down my face..my heart goes out to you..good luck with everything and I'm glad you didn't let the virus win and you didn't give up on your battle..God bless you :)

[@carlahead5072]

I honestly admire your positive attitude and I'm so happy that you have a family who are there for you and will stand beside you. I'm happy that your boyfriend is there for you. There are a lot of myths and facts which revolve around HIV/AIDS and you're right-people need to educate themselves. You have my full support and J wish you the best that life has to offer!! I'm glad to see that you are doing well and are living a normal life ,even with a chronic illness. Take care my friend ok? Wishing my best to you,your boyfriend,your family,and your friends. I'll gladly support the HIV AIDS cause. I enjoyed your video as it was very inspirational to me.

[@coffeeinbed69]

Thank you for your video. You are a very brave man. The fact that you were willing to help others that may be going through what you have already went through is amazing. Beside all the dumb comments you may have saved someone's life. I hope 2016 finds you in good health and happiness. Peace.

[@ciaagent0097]

I'm glad more men are speaking out about this epidemic.

[@jordanharris3553]

Cia agent 00 there is no epidemic this is a total hoax HIV does not cause aids and you have been deceived by the pharmaceutical companies in which you contribute everything to. Do your research don’t be so pitiful.

[@brijeter9534]

Thank you for sharing your story Patrick. That was extremely brave of you. I wish you the best

[@TheNotoriousPDM]

I want to go on a date with you! You're so handsome & well-spoken. I wish you lived closer!

[@lisaskepe_Amisu]

Lol.

[@shun3relle289]

You said it.. the guy basically told u so I give the dude credit for that because that was your chance to either ask more questions or just run away. A lot of people don’t even get that much of information. So what happen afterwards u can’t blame no one but yourself. It takes a strong and brave individual to come on KZbin and share his story with the world. You are grateful to have loving, caring, and supportive parents in your corner. Although this is an old post.. I wanna say continue to stay strong and empower others who have the virus to be strong😊😊

[@OhNoSheDidItAgain]

I love your aura Patty. Love just flows all through you. You are amazing. It warms my heart that you are willing to be available for people who need someone to go with them to be tested. You just melt my heart. Wishing you s healthy loving life my friend. 🤗
