This poem is about someone who I know was diagnosed with HIV, in 1984, when no one knew what it was. He died in 1993. I had been with him to see how it affected his life.In this poem, HIV is who his partner was.

When we first met, I was Twenty four.
At twenty six you came knocking on my door.
At thirty you robbed me and left me on the floor.
At thirty Three there was no one left but you and me.
Then it was I who left you.

Confidential HIV & AIDS Home Test Kit
Results over phone, anonymous testing in privacy of your home. FDA approved! Accurate!
This approved system uses a simple finger prick process for home blood collection which results in dried blood spots
on special paper. The dried blood spots are mailed to a laboratory with a confidential and anonymous personal
identification number (PIN), and analyzed by trained clinicians in a certified medical laboratory using the same
procedures that are used for samples taken in a doctor's office.
