I do not normally do a blog entry about certain orginizations in the HIV/AIDS community because there are just so many out there that I feel like are doing so much good, weither it be education prevention, erasing stigmas, or like Healthline by showing us we are not alone in one of our greatest times of need.
Finding out that you have been infected with HIV can seem like the end of the world for many who do not know where to turn. Trust me I was one of those who felt lost and confused.
Well Healthline has a new campaign called "You've Got This" that is so inspiring and encouraging not just for someone like me who has been positive for awhile but also for those who are newly diagnoised with HIV.
I really wish I could of found something that offers this much hope when I was newly diagnosed, been able to watch videos submitted by real people just like me who knew what I was going though and had words of wisdom to share.
Even watching the videos now, I am in awww and so inspired. I have actually been inspired enought to work on my own video for their "You've Got This" campaign. I encourage everyone to please visit their website and take the time to browse through the videos and show your support for this great cause.

This is my story of how I found out I was HIV-Positive while still in the United States Marine Corps and my coming to terms with my diagnosis.
