Goddamn, again Blogger lost a big ass post I did yesterday.

Well, Some news today.

Recently, there's been a lot of talk about HIV and STDs in my life. First, we had the sex ed. unit in health for the past three weeks (ended last week) and the last thing we did was watch a movie about Ryan White. Hell, even yesterday during religious education at church (R.E.), my teachers showed a video where the motivational speaker spoke about pre-marital sex, STDs, and such of the matter (the spiritual part got rather boring).

I'm currently weighing my options... Afterall, I don't have to worry about pregnancy (neither getting nor causing), but there're still so many different diseases out there: chlymidia, genital warts, etc. And then the dreaded HIV virus... I could go on and on about that. Maybe, as Joey would put it, I worry and stress over that so much because we belong to the gay community; the first social group to be publically and widely afflicked. But no, it's not only that. I don't want to die early in my life. Nor do I want to suffer the indignant death followed by this disease. Death with passion is one of my greatest romances, but death from slowly rotting due to sickness... well, that's sick.

But anyways, last week when my friend drove me over to church for R.E, we stopped by the local health clinic and got tested. Today I got my results back.... negative.

I love being alive.
