I want to thank the diverse and very sexy crowd of POZ guys, poz-friendly NEG
guys, preppies, jocks, alternative types, daddies, boys, leather men, drag
queens, regular Joes and, yes, even the handful of straight men and women who
packed CLUB+ this past Saturday night to help raise funds for L.A. Shanti. Your
diversity, friendliness and camaraderie proved that HIV is not synonymous with
fear and rejection. Saturday night was a party that celebrated vibrant lives,
making new friends and breaking barriers. I especially appreciated the volunteer
"Hosts" (Nigel, Mike, Scott & John) who mingled throughout the crowd - starting
conversations, making introductions and welcoming people to CLUB+. You set an
excellent example that inspired many of the party-goers to make it their goal to
meet EVERYONE at the party that night. By the end of the evening, I think
everyone knew super-friendly party-goers Craig, Dan and Steve. LOL!
DJ Jason (of GAMeBoi at Rage) kept the dance floor jumpin' with an upbeat and
fun vibe right through closing time, when the crowd kept shouting for him to
play "just one more"! Due to the crowd's overwhelmingly "positive" response
(probably half the crowd grabbed me to say how GREAT the DJ was), DJ Jason will
be back to spin The Summer Splash Party in August. As a special treat, DJ Bryan
(founder of Strength In Numbers) will kick-off the party from 9:30pm to 10:30pm
making his DJ debut!!! Just for fun, we're adding a wading pool, beach balls to
toss about and shot specials every half hour. So, jump into your favorite beach
attire (shoes required) and join the party at the next CLUB+ on Saturday, August
21st!
Most of you know, that in addition to being a fundraiser (100% of the proceeds
goes directly to benefit L.A. Shanti HIV/AIDS Service Organization), I produce
CLUB+ so EVERYONE living with HIV (and I believe everyone on the Planet is
living with HIV, whether you're HIV+ or not) can meet, mingle and make new
friends in a safe and vibrant atmosphere where a person's status is not an
issue. Thank you for making my vision become such a successful reality this past
Saturday night. You ROCK!
I look forward to seeing you all the third Saturday of every month at Apache
Dance Bar! Look for me and say "Hi"!
Peace!

Hi David,
Have had many dealings with these kooks. They have even gone as far

Some people wonder why postings are moderated on this Yahoo Group?
Well there is a group of people out there trying to shut down sites
like this with antiAIDS propaganda and repeated grafitti. "They"
(AIDS denialists) try to post hundreds of messages to this board
every month alone! They have attacked our http://www.HIVforum.com now
for over 3 years, they spam our chats, try to tell our members to
quit medicines and many other carzy tatics. BEWARE!
AIDS apologists are those who know HIV leads to AIDS (proven by
science, so much scientific proof) and we are defending the
scientifically known fact that viral pathogenesis and progression
of 'HIV to AIDS' causes the eventual need for combination therapies
to prolong life.

Sorry if some people get this more than once!!!
Hi everyone,
My name is Margaret. I work for the University of Wyoming in the
Psychology Department on the Wyoming Rural AIDS Prevention
Projects. I am also on the state community planning group, and am
one of the organizers of WYOAIDS Walk. I am pleased to say this
year will be our 3rd annual walk.
I myself am negative, but have been touched by a close friend who
is positive. Because of my work and interaction with him, I have
started to do more with HIV/AIDS work. I truly enjoy myself and I
am looking forward to getting to know you all.
Margaret

Hi, Everyone...
I am moving to Oahu this Summer for a new job. I was wondering if
anyone knows a really good HIV doctor i should check out? A doctor
with lots of hand on stuff and knows alot of HIV and how to deal with
it would be great. I would appreciate your responses.

Hi I am new to the group and wanted to introduce myself...... My name is Nicole,

helpful to be part of this group...the more support the better, right?!

Hello everyone,
My name is Dave. I have been positive for 3 years now and in good
health. I have maintained a undetectable viral load since 2 weeks of
starting my meds and my CD4 count has never been lower than 383 and
has been as high as 650.
I worked for a Forture 500 company for 3 years and left the company
to start my own business. I am a consultant for my former employer.
I have been self employed for 18 months now and currently have health
insurance with United Healthcare as a group plan. The coverage is
currently in COBRA and is due to expire April 30, 2004.
I am so fustrated attempting to secure a new health insurance
policy. I tried to obtain another group plan through SASE an
organization for the self employed. I received a call back from my
representative and she announced that they would not be able to cover
me. The insurer was Mega Life and Health. I called Mega Life today
just out of curiosity to find out why they declined covering me since
I have an existing policy. They did not have me on record. Livid as
I was, I called SASE to find out why they hadn't submitted the
application to Mega Life and let them decide. Internally they "felt
it wouldn't be approved" due to being HIV+. Nothing in their
underwriting guide which I reviewed when I signed up had any
stipulations or restrictions regarding HIV or AIDS. I have requested
my application back and I will send it to Mega Directly for their
answer.
In the meantime, I am told with my current "pre-existing condition"
purchasing an "individual" policy they will not cover me for the pre-
existing condition for 12 months even though I currently have valid
health insurance that has been in force for over 4 years
consecutively. I thought if I can prove a previous policy was in
force for their exemption period, they would waive the pre-existing
condition clause.
Hi everyone,
So, I hate to ask this, but I need your help with something. I work for an
Internet HIV prevention project. We are in the process of developing a
questionnaire that will reach everyone (before we were targeting gay or bisexual
men). We here have been through it so much that it looks great to us, but may
not to people who haven’t seen it before. Would you all be willing to take a
look at it and give me feedback? You can just post the feedback in the group,
and I will be able to get it from there. We want to make sure that it works for
people who are positive, negative, gay, or bisexual men, straight men, and
straight women.
A little rationale for the survey is that we will use the information
ultimately to design interventions that can be used on-line for prevention
purposes. That is why we want it to be the best possible survey we can design.
In the short-term, we need the survey so my professor can submit a grant to have
the funds to get the ball rolling. We want to be able to provide good sites to
help men and women with health issues, specifically HIV/AIDS.
Here is the direct link
http://www.wrapp.net/mens_internet/mens_internet.htm
Here is the website link and there is a banner at the bottom of the main page
that will take you there too.
http://www.wrapp.net
I am also always looking for suggestions on the website.
Thanks so much,
Margaret
