I am a 36 year old man living in the UK. I have had hiv for about 5 years now. I am a Life Coach, and it’s my aim to become a successful motivator of people with hiv, and gay men who have lost their sense of direction. Of course, i won’t limit myself to those particular niches, but as this is where I am coming from, this is where I will dedicate a major chunk of my energy.
I will also be releasing a coaching ebook for people with hiv at the start of 2008, as well as selling self-hypnosis cds for anyone who wants to make sustainable changes in their life. But most importantly I am on a massive healing journey, one that has taken me from almost death to John of God; one which will allow me to become hiv negative. This is the main purpose of my blog.

Hello mr Positive, 🙂
Its is a joy to find your blog. I to find people and freinds with hiv very narrow minded and unable to look out of the box and i find it realy frustrating. A freind of mine has recently been in Chelsea and westimister hospital, I visisted him every day before coming out to abadania. I showed him emma bragdons video and lent him her book. He has hiv (far gone) and hep c. His liver is in such a bad condition (also due to the recreational side of things) he was/still into. I tryed to pursaude him to come with me until i was blue in the face., but he just doesnt ‘get it’ or even wants to. It seems like he wants the virus, which is the common consensors i seem to get from all these gay men, apart from you and myself!
So yes im here at hotel amazonas for 3 months (arrived 2dec) Its my second visit. The first time was in may 07, when I came for just 2 weeks on a group with adrienne, but ended up staying for 3 months. My news was very good also and ive decided to come back as ofter as possible, its also nice to be away from the cold 🙂 but i do miss my friends and family at christmas.
I was diagnosed in jan 07 and since coming here my blood tests have been amazing and virtually undetectable, chelsea & westmister cant belive it. I like to look at things always on a positive groove and you sound just the same, this is the way to healing 🙂 Yor web site is a breath of fresh air. To be honest I dont go into reading all those forums anyway, its all very dull and everyone is so depressed.
Its saturday morning here and very quite, may groups have left this monring. I had a second op yesterday 8am, so cant go for a run for a fews day which i like to do here to burn a bit of energy off so I can sleep. Will go into Brazilia to the temple of good will with Anita tommorrow as she is dropping her sister at the airport. I like to walk the maze spiral.
Woudlo be great to hear from you, if you ahve time to reply.
All the best and keep up the good work on your blog!
Love

hi there, pete.. great to hear from you.. i am not a jealous person but i wish i was in abadiania with you.. so has joao said when you will be healed.. you have definitely made the right decision to go to abadiania.. I only wish I had known about him when I was first diagnosed. But maybe hitting rock bottom, for me was the best thing that could have happened. It’s all part of my journey..
As for the forums.. oh jesus, they are dreadful. It’s a real shame. I did find a good one though.. it’s called daily strength.
I wish i could have an acai pudding right now. oh, with mango cream, at the pizzeria.. mmmm!! ;-). Can you tell joao at the amazonas that i was asking after him..he’s a very special guy..
I’m glad you like my blog.. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment..
I’m actually going to be setting up another blog, coaching gay men, and another coaching people with HIV, so that they can begin to live with more positivity, and hope.. and learn to be more fearless and true to themselves.. I would really love it if you could become involved in some way. Maybe I could interview you when you get back, and get some healing vibes out there in the poz/gay community…
Again, thanks for commenting. I really do appreciate it..
Please feel free to email me at lifecoachdavid@hotmail.co.uk..
My website isn’t up and running yet, but it will be by the time you get back home..
Have a great time in abadiania, and have a wonderful xmas.. I’m thinking of going next year for xmas, after my spring trip…
be well
love
david

David! Your blogs are so genuine, powerful, and funny.
How’s your Christmas?
You told me you would stop drinking coffee and not give up! I’m a little disappointed, but you should just stay focused and stay happy! A new door will always open. I miss Abadiania too and miss talking to you! Have a wonderful New Year’s and fresh start towards your new goals!
Love,
Vesna

Me in Chelsea, NYC
Your blog has really touched me as I was recently diagnosed as HIV+ and hospitalized for nearly two weeks with an opportunistic infection (PCP Pneumonia). During that time I tangibly felt that I had a choice to live or to die. I chose life, joy, and a deeper spiritual journey. Visiting John of God is something I am thinking of doing and I was so happy to read about your visit. Thank you for sharing your story!
Please let me know if you are blogging somewhere else (or not).
Blessings.
