calling my mom and saying don't
tell anyone anything.
don't tell them any information.
although she did say i called
her first.
of course i had already told
some people.
i was surely wasn't going to
tell anyone else.
i knew the kind of seriousness
and my mom's voice so i decided
don't tell anyone anything.
and i didn't have to.
because of those like people i
don't told by people and they
told by people, and they told by
people.
and i found out i was
hiv-positive on july 172003, and
it seemed like the rest of my
national community, it seemed
like word had spread.
so immediately when i came out
of the hospital, i was a college
student and i was forced to go
back to college in order to keep
my health insurance, so i was
able to, you know, treat this
virus.
and i remember being at school,
you know, from the semester
before i was the girl on campus.
and now it was like i was
walking to class by myself.
no one wanted to do class
projects with a.
