See life through my eyes, walk in my shoes, trade places with me and you just might discover that living with HIV/AIDS doesn’t have to be the stuff of nightmares and worst-case-scenarios.

You don’t have to die of AIDS. You don’t have to live in fear of AIDS. You can love someone with AIDS and not acquire the virus. You can even learn to love living with AIDS should you yourself become infected.

The fear of AIDS is all in your head. The universe is a wondrous and beautiful place with or without HIV. This realization is the only “cure” for AIDS. This much is true.
