with this being friday i figure there's going to be plenty of drinking, clubbing, partying so this was a gentle reminder for everyone to stay conscious of what they decide to do because people with HIV don't wear shirts that say "hey, i'm positive". young men especially are world-renowned for a "fuck tonight, worry about test results when another celebrity oh-my-god-he-looked-so-healthy-in-that-movie-how-could-he-be-positive incident inspires me to get tested". many of the PHYSICAL symptoms of the final stages of HIV can remain dormant until, literally, the final days. if you think your safe avoiding people with sunken in eyes, fat deposits about the face and narrowed cheekbones, you're sadly mistaken. the guy with the spiked hair, $100 sunglasses and rippling chest muscles is just as likely to be positive.
