To Teak and Lizzie

You may not remember my questions just over a year ago when I first met my partner who is HIV+ Looking back I was scared anxious and asked some questions that others might have perceived as naive. I must say by you responding to those questions it helped me to overcome a few difficult weeks. ( I know Teak sometimes you thought I should know better as you told me). I needed the reasurrance at that time. Please keep up the good work.

I am happy to say we are still together, we are now engaged and very happy. I go for testing approx every four months and am still negative.

I think finding this site did help me through the first month

I would also like to let others know who might fear entering a relationship like ours, the fear can be overcome if you have found happiness then go for it.
