Cherished

In your September/October 2007 issue, I read the article “An Open Letter: Woman to Woman” by Heidi Nass. Because of it, I realize that whether you have HIV or not, the human desire to be cherished, loved, and supported, to experience life’s goodness and joys never goes away and you shouldn’t ignore it. I have HIV and I want those things and will have them. But this virus is tricky and overbearing. In time I will come to accept my HIV status, and learn to live a happy life again. Now I have a starting point.

Thank you.

James Cotromanes, Wheaton, IL

Thank you for your recent issue related to transgender people and HIV. I have been a fan of PA for years and felt, well, validated by the issue.
