ReplyDeleteI sure will be listening in. I hope one day soon the topic goes to AIDS Related Diseases. I would love to talk about my AIDS related Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and maybe even meet someone else that has the same condition. In my 13 year that I have tested Poz I have yet to meet anyone that has AIDS related AVN. I have done research online but could not find much about it other than the medical definition and in what ways the believe it is caused. I brought it up in the chat room and nobody has a clue what I was talking about so I am guessing it is a rare condition.
