When he was diagnosed with HIV, he was given 18 months to live, so he decided to take long-term sickness leave and take stock of his situation. Since then, being HIV positive has been the springboard for leading the life of his dreams. Back in the late 80s and early 90s, the focus of HIV was on death and dying.  He has seen many friends and family members die of HIV/AIDS. His first partner with AIDS introduced him to the founder of London Lighthouse, the first centre in the UK for people with HIV which provided drop-in services, respite care, and a hospice service.  Danny got involved with HIV support organizations and did HIV training. In the late 90s, Danny decided to take care of his health and took a number of years off. He’s now been successfully treated on antiretroviral medications (ARVs) for five years, and he wanted to do something proactive, so he set up his own training, coaching and leadership consultancy and is now a qualified professional coach.

But HIV is “unique” in that it raises society’s taboos such as death, dying, sex, sexuality, addiction, disability, and illness—all the things people are reluctant to talk about. So it’s no surprise that people are reluctant to learn about HIV and seek out up-to-date, accurate information about it. This problem perpetuates the epidemic. ]]></media:description><media:content lang="en" bitrate="600" url="http://static6.sclipo.com/static/videos/a136cd63249778874ca0.flv" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" medium="video" height="360" width="480" duration="73" /><media:thumbnail url="http://s4.sclipo.net/img_videos/a1/a136cd63249778874ca00.jpg" width="130" height="100" /><media:title><![CDATA[HIV Raises Society’s Taboos]]></media:title><media:keywords><![CDATA[sclipo,sclipo.com,skills,how-to,how to,learn,hiv,positive,aids,danny,west,ryl,training,prevention,education,taboo,society,sex,sexuality,addiction,death,illness,blood]]></media:keywords><media:credit>AIDSvideos</media:credit><media:rating scheme="urn:simple">nonadult</media:rating><media:category>Educational</media:category><media:hash>FWL2F4T8J4N0</media:hash><media:copyright url="http://sclipo.com/info/terms.htm">2007 Sclipo.com</media:copyright></item><item><author>AIDSvideos</author><title><![CDATA[Things to Think About Before Being Tested for HIV]]></title><link>http://sclipo.com/video/things-to-think-about-before-being-tested-for-hiv</link><description><![CDATA[Danny West is a trainer, coach, and leadership consultant, has been living with HIV for the past 24 years, and remains healthy today.

He doesn’t specifically encourage people to take the HIV test, but he helps people to think through the issues involved in making the decision of whether or not to be tested for HIV so they can make an informed choice. Being diagnosed HIV positive has many implications that must be considered before taking the HIV test. There is still much discrimination against people who are living with HIV. In the United Kingdom, it’s difficult to get a job, mortgage, or life insurance if you are HIV positive. It is difficult to travel to certain countries if you are HIV positive. There are many restrictions placed on people with HIV due to fear and ignorance. Danny doesn’t normally give advice, but he encourages people considering the HIV test to get enough information to make an informed decision. Next, think about the impact that an HIV positive test result would have on your life, who you would tell, and how they would react. Isolation is a killer, so think about who would be willing to provide you support if your result is HIV positive.

Here he talks about bug chasing, in which HIV negative people seek to have sex with HIV positive partners. He initially thought that bug chasing had to be a myth. Then he went online and found web sites where HIV negative gay men seek out HIV positive partners. Cass knows at least thirty people who got infected this way and without exception they regret having become HIV positive. Cass feels that any gay man going to a back room or dark room is a bug chaser because that's what they're going to get.

Then he went online and found web sites where HIV negative gay men seek out HIV positive partners.

Remember that your partner might have had sex with other partners immediately before you have oral sex. Oral sex is not safer sex. Use a condom if you choose to have oral sex.

Here he talks about disclosure of HIV status before having sex. If you are HIV positive and want to have sex, you must disclose your HIV status. Do you tell them and risk rejection, or not tell and have your way with them? If an HIV positive person doesn't disclose and doesn't use protection (including for oral sex!), the HIV positive person can be criminally prosecuted in the United Kingdom.
