Introduction: Positively Positive - Living with HIV

On November 28th 1985, I was told by my doctor to inform my family, arrange my finances and funeral, I had six months to live! After four years of living in fear, my life took a dramatic turn and I embarked on a spiritual journey from fear to Love! Healing does not necessarily mean cure of disease, but healing our mind and transforming our body to realize its full potential, joy and purpose. Learning about the influence that our thoughts have on our life and health; from breakdown to breakthrough! Living today as healthy and as fully as you can, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. The Abundance of Life does not come from what one can provide for oneself, but it is provided in our connectedness. I Show UP For Life!

We don't usually look at AIDS - or any life threatening illness - as an opportunity. But, without diminishing the seriousness of the disease or sentimentalizing its impact, it can be, "a wake up call."

Our judgments and those we place on others...


Out About HIV

Brad McIntyre held a party for his friends last November and presented each with an award, a gift of crystal. One friend was honored with Most Instrumental. Another was named Best Support.

McIntyre, 42, has lived with HIV for almost a decade, and to him it’s not a death sentence any more.

The first four years were a living hell, he remembers, mainly because he was afraid of death. But then, after a friend told him he had suffered long enough and hard enough, he slapped some bright paint on his beige apartment walls. He chose to get on with his life....

-2011-November 11- Speaker: AIDS Vancouver presents touching documentary “We Were Here” to promote “Positive Change” AIDS Vancouver Board Vice-Chair, Bradford McIntyre opened the commercial premiere of the documentary "We Were Here – The AIDS Years of San Francisco" sponsored by AIDS Vancouver at VanCity Theatre. Bradford McIntyre, a long term survivor living with HIV since 1984, introduced the feature length documentary “We Were Here” and shared his own experience living with HIV. After the screening, Bradford moderated a 20 min Q & A session with director David Weissman, via Skype.
“In We Were Here, director David Weissman vividly captures the reality many of us faced in the early years of the HIV epidemic. Back then there was no support out there for people living with HIV and stigma was so vehement. People living with HIV/AIDS had to create grassroots networks to take care of one another; fight for treatments and human rights and educate the public to break down the barriers of stigma. Thirty years on we have come a long way in addressing these issues those generations before fought for. However, with over 33 million HIV infections worldwide, we must continue to act and support people living with HIV, by never faltering to advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness.” reflected Bradford McIntyre.

The poignant images and powerful stories of that day, Wednesday, September 21, are now captured in a photo essay, "A Day With HIV in America," published today by Positively Aware.
