Until There's a Cure

Hey everyone!

This year I am walking in the 2012 Seattle AIDS Walk. From a very young age, I remember watching the Real World San Francisco and seeing a glimpse of the life, of the now deceased, Pedro Zamora. In retrospect, I applaud MTV for showing a gay commitment ceremony on national cable in 1995. I watched Pedro work tirelessly to educate youth about HIV/AIDS and I watched him fall in love, get married and eventually die. He continues to have a profound and inspirational impact of my life to this day. It was through this man, that I became passionately invested in HIV/AIDS awareness at the young age of 13.

Shortly after, I began wearing my "Until There's a Cure" bracelet. The idea of this bracelet was to wear it until a cure for AIDS was found. I'm still wearing it today, over a decade later. It's looking a little beat up and I optimistically look forward to the day when I can take it off and free up my arm for some new accessories. Until then, I will continue to wear it, as a reminder of Pedro and all the others who have influenced who I am today and I feel naked without it. I take it off very rarely, only in instances where it might get destroyed.

It is amazing how your life can take a turn and lead you down a path, mine coming from a reality TV show and leading me to a lifelong passion to helping those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. I remember meeting a co-worker from Zimbabwe who talked about how HIV/AIDS had ravaged her home country and how stigmatized those who had it felt. I remember learning about the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa in college and my heart aching for all the HIV+ orphans, who have no mother to take care of them when they are sick. I remember getting a job a Rosehedge before it was Rosehedge/MultiFaithWorks and seeing how residents there were marginalized by society. Without Rosehedge, these people would have been roaming the streets, most likely doing drugs.

I think the what really brought me to this cause is that HIV/AIDS often affects the most marginalized people who are then further stigmatized by their disease.  It was the marginalization, stigma, and social aspect of the disease that drew me to the cause. There are a lot of sick people out there but for some reason the ones with AIDS are controversial. That's why I choose to support this cause.

And now I am currently fulfilling my dream of working at the Gates Foundation, one of the largest philanthropic organizations who work on HIV/AIDS. I am not on the HIV/AIDS team but I see the work that they do. I see the hope they have about eradicating this disease. Hope I am experiencing for the first time in my life.

  • My name is Miss Salome am 25 years old, I was once a H.I.V. patient until I got cured by a great doctor who is DR. ABEGBE, I contacted my H.I.V. through my Ex boyfriend called Jason, I trusted this boy so I always had unprotected sex with him, not knowing that he is H.I.V. patient, I started feeling abnormal, I went to the hospital and go for medical checkup, I was told that I am H.IV. Positive, tears rolled down my chicks because I thought my life is ruined, my grow lean because of too much thinking, I went to search how to cure H.I.V in the internet there I saw how a spell caster helped people in curing there H.I.V. disease at first I don’t believe until I saw multiple testimonies on how a particular man (DR. ABEGBE) helped them in curing there H.I.V. disease, quickly I copied his email which is DR.ABEGBESPELLHOME@HOTMAIL.COM, I emailed him quickly and I told him my problems, he cast a spell for me, he told me to go for a H.I.V. test which I did, luckily I turn H.I.V. negative, I promise to share the testimony on the internet, if you are looking for a way to cure your H.I.V. disease please quickly go meet him, you can contact him on his email on DR.ABEGBESPELLHOME@HOTMAIL.COM or call him on +2348142729958, this is your time of healing.

  • Glory Be To The Lord Almighty
    join me to thank this man worthy to be called my great and powerful father called Dr ukpoyan. Last time i met a comment online against the great and powerful work Dr ukpoyan has done with her

    HIV/AIDS ailment.
    Firstly:
    i will thank Mrs Michelle for letting the world knows the powerful man that help her from AIDS disease. This was what i have all my life been waiting for since i was infected by HIV last 6 months. I always spend money for drugs always but still yet my weight becomes poorer and my joint always getting painful and inching all day. But when i met this comment last 3 days, i quickly contacted Dr ukpoyan the Traditonal helper. He is from the western part of africa, i did'nt spend much as i spent for drugs each day, and i for the fact truly reason this because my life was already as take by this disease called AIDs. Truly, when it was 8 oclock on monday this week he called me that his oracle urgently required some few life items to enable the disease wipe out successfully, then i was asked to send down 200 usd ($). Which i did. He trully bought the items and suprisingly, yesterday afternoon Dr ukpoyan called me that my work has been finally done and it work out well. I was glad and he told me to rush down to my hospital for checkup. Which i really did, my brothers and sisters i went down crying because no one has ever done this to a person in life. Dr ukpoyan truly healed me. I was crying it was a dream to my eyes when the doctor said to me that I am HIV NEGATIVE. I am now a free born in life, am now like other people who now think things like human. For these days and forever, i will accept Dr ukpoyan as my father and my healer and helper. He is a great man. Thank you sir. I know i cant reward you. But my God in heaven can. Thank you sir once again.
    Regards.
