Having explored several religions to seek the purpose of life, SL Yang no longer sees HIV as a mortal enemy but has chosen to look at it as a reminder to live his life positively.
Friendships and peer support would help a newly-diagnosed person get over the initial challenges of living with HIV but ridding of non-supportive gossip behind your back types would help greatly too, says SL Yang.
Will you be accepting of a friend or potential partner if he or she came out as being HIV positive to you? How far have we come as a community in coping with the disease and accepting people with HIV?
HIV is no longer seen as a death sentence but as chronic and manageable disease. But the cost of taking the life-saving drugs is more than a financial one, says SL Yang who recalls having to battle the side effects and stick to a strict regimen of over 20 pills a day in the earlier days.
So what would you do if you had just found out you’re HIV+ – and then your brother keeps bugging you to tell him something he thinks you should? This was the dilemma SL Yang was caught in when he was diagnosed more than a decade ago.
First in a series of six articles on living with HIV/AIDS - this first-hand account of what it is like to be gay and HIV+ is written by Singaporean SL Yang, who has lived with the virus for more than 10 years.
Hello, I hope I can know more people through this, and I hope I can find someone older than me. I don't like people younger than me. Because he is mature and steady, he has deep social experience and rich knowledge and experience. Mature and steady men are rich in ideas, respect and trust, and will not casually send out their indecent photos like young people. So young people are conscious. Don't let me pull you down. If you are young and want to communicate with me, please keep mutual respect, trust and understanding.

I'm a relationship oriented guy. Versatile, HIV-, no drugs, no drama. Love to laugh. Live right on a lake and enjoy the water. Love to explore, and the DC area has lots of interesting things to see and do. Looking for a decent looking guy, 24 - 39, whose mind is working, has a decent sense of humor and some adventure in him. Someone who says what he means and means what he says.
