-hope things are well with you,

It'd be nice to talk with you. I'll be out of town this weekend, but will be home tomorrow night and most of next week if you get a chance to call. I'm certainly interested in learning about what you're doing with He Intends Victory. You guys were the first Church-based group to reach out to this community back in the lonely 80s. I only "went public" with my HIV/HepC status last summer and I'll always feel indebted to the guys who, like Mike, came out in the early days, spoke out, and paved the way for those of us too afraid to do so. Anyway, I look forward to talking to you.

My name's Barry Haarde and I'm a 43 year old severe factor 8 hemophiliac with HIV/HepC. I first read about you and Mike in the original printing of the Wooding book, 'He Intends Victory.' Needless to say, it was a very inspirational story to read at that time, when few of us were willing to disclose our HIV status. I was curious to know if you're still involved with the hemophilia community? We may know some of the same people. I'm in Houston, TX by the way. I hope to talk with some time,

My name is Kim and I need your help. I am doing this out of desperation because I don't know what to do. I think I might have HIV and am very scared to go test. Three and a half year ago, I (male) had protected sex with a girl who was HIV positive which I did not know at that time. During the sexual intercourse the condom broke and been going on for 10 to 15 minutes. Last month, I received a call from the girl disclosing me her status, and that's when I started to freak out. I am 23, asian, and never did drugs or cigarettes. People would describe me as innocent and hard worker. I go to school full-time while working full-time. I play soccer passionately and go to church regularly. But during the past month, my heart just broke down. Ihave a girlfriend, who we share the same philosophy of life. We had sex several times and during an encounter the condom broke and some of the pre-cum might have contacted her vaginal fluids. I am not only living with the though of having HIV but the guilt that I might have transmitted the disease to a love one. I am feeling a tremendous feel of guilt and depression. Every single sign of symptoms freaks me out, but one of the greatest fear is how my face lost a lot of weight on the past month. It might be linked to depression, who knows? I have been researching supporting groups where I can get some counseling but even that scares me. I really don't know what to do. I know that the only way to fix this is to be a man and go get tested, but I am not psychologically not prepared to handle that burden of being positive and having infected a person. I am running out of option and my life is just a mess. I am getting behind with school and at work people are starting to notice my depression. I a naturally closed person and don't like to share my personal life with others, nonetheless my HIV status. I always had this negative stigma of HIV and it really scared me standing close to someone positive. I hate myself for it. But know after numerous amount of research and me being potentially positive, all my respect and compassion are into them. sharon please help me and give me the motivational support to tackle my life. Right now I just want someone to guide me on this time of desperation. I hope that GOD might guide me to that person. Thanks. Kim.
Dear Sister Sharon
I believe God had a purpose to bring us together as a part of His family. Though we are far apart put I always feel the presence of He Intends Victory family in my heart. What a blessing to be part God’s family! I have been seeing the slides you posted at the internet and they have reminded me that day you visited us and I could not fail to thank God in joy and supplications. We love you and your family may our Living Father the Almighty God richly bless you and the entire family of He Intends Victory! Amen.
