Coming out of Birchwood: Hiv Will Not Define Me

For the past thirteen years, I have considered becoming a spokesperson for HIV/AIDS. I was treading in unknown waters, having been recently diagnosed HIV positive, so I figured some experience might be required before I spoke up. I have been positive for thirteen years and I am now in my junior year of college with Ashford University pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Social and Criminal Justice, with a minor in Psychology. With that said, I believe that I have the experience to stand up and speak out. My first step is to introduce myself with this simple autobiography. I hope you enjoy reading of my imperfections.
