Stats, Everyone

A few months ago, I have only been watching the news about the rapid increase of HIV cases in the Philippines. Now, I one in the statistics. I am officially one of the 4,424 reported HIV cases since 1984, of which 832 had developed into full-blown AIDS and 314 deaths had been reported.

I still cannot accept it.  Although I have already considered myself "assumed-positive" when my random test came out "indeterminate" last November and has gone practicing an assumed-positive life-- that is, living health(ier), safer sex and all, and has been successful in it , it is only now that reality starts to bite. And it proves harder than it seems.

I am not ready yet.
