Kenn Chaplin's "My journey with AIDS - day by day, year by year"
Kenn is 44 years old, HIV-positive and the AIDS Editor for AfricaFiles.
Hard to imagine, as the virus has taken him to death's door and back, but he has managed to dedicate most of his life and energy to tackling a number of HIV/AIDS-related and gay issues and has also done outstanding work on promoting my own Diary.

He says: "What began as a year-end letter to a dying friend in 1993 has now morphed into a blog. I hope that you will see that AIDS is just a part of my life here in Toronto, Canada. I have been a political agitator from the time I "came out" in 1981 and always somewhat of a spiritual seeker. I don't know if, or when, I would be as comfortable disclosing even general remarks about my sexual exploits as Hayden appears to be. Time will tell.

Log onto Kenn's blog for more on how he is coping with everyday issues surrounding HIV and AIDS.

Positive-negative.org
This website was created predominantly as a source of information for people who are in a relationship where one partner has HIV or AIDS - commonly called a sero-discordant relationship. From personal experience we found that there was very little information and support available on the Internet - or anywhere else for that matter - that covers this often very difficult subject, and have attempted to do something to alter that.
