Welcome to all newbies!@John, who ever said never? Keep your vitals and immune system up, and with proper timing pwedeng pwede. Your doctors should know that you have plans to have children someday. GBY!
Maria: Hindi kse kami maka-chamba ng mabait..lolJohn: Adoption? In Vitro? You don't have to exactly carry the baby to have one, u know.lol.

BADING po ako eh =P allergic sa girls, nagkakaleprosy ako hahahaha
I wanna carry the baby din sana,.. I am fascinated with pregnancy sobra. I wanna be a mother too kung pwede lang noh. pero you should never read some of my books.. bka madisguist kayo sakin on how some female pregnant characters are violated in unimaginable ways...
But though I am super gay, I love women! As friends and idols and companions. =P and mga surrogate mothers and aunts ko =P Hope to meet more gays here na open or nagtatago pa... I can be a friend because I have been through a lot. Parang YA book na ata buhay ko or parang les Miserables hahahaha

Hi Monique! My Buddy, Angus, told me I have a namesake here. So while I don't frequent this thread to welcome newbies, I'm making this rare appearance to say hi.
Hi Monique! I'm (the other, older, or maybe, just Ate) Monique! :D Hope you'll love and enjoy being with TFG as much as we do! :)

I DO know you're GAY, John. But what's that got to do with being a parent? I'm sure you have heard of sperm donation to girl friends.
With regards to carrying a baby yourself, then, perhaps God has a better advise.
Kwesi 章英狮 wrote: "Hindi pwede, may nakakahawa."blood transfusion or exchange of bodily fluids ba ang paraan para makahawa? i can't remember which is which.
but John, i agree with Louize. daming gay parents jan. although ang viable option mo ay mag-ampon.
at wag mo na pangarapin mabuntis! mahirap magdalantao. bow. :)
i am not against being a gay parent.. it just means i cannot do it through the natural way..
as for sperm donation hindi pa rin pwede... because... i will message you Louize why so you would understand my situation... something very medical and controversial about me.. =P a little shocking if you think of it.. =P
Maria wrote: "blood transfusion or exchange of bodily fluids ba ang paraan para makahawa? i can't remember which is which."Korak pareho Maria! :)
But a person living with HIV may have a chance to have a child/ren if his/her viral load is very low and the CD4 cell is at its highest before intercourse or extraction.
Dapat closely monitored by doctor; and dapat hindi naka-antidepressant.
Louize, wow. Dami mong alam ah. Part ba ng job mo yan?
Hmm, andami ko palang hindi alam sa HIV. This is very enlightening!
Talking about the 'traditional pregnancy', well he can try sex change in Thailand or wherever. Usually a person who had been undergo a sex change usually 'can' bear a child but this kind of operation is 'very' costly and dangerous.
@Maria: Yap! A person who is HIV positive can transmit the virus to others when infected blood, semen or vaginal fluids come in contact with broken skin or mucus membranes. But lately, there are new treatments that can prevent the transmission of the virus from mother to the baby and only have 2% chance of infecting it.
K.D. wrote: "Louize, wow. Dami mong alam ah. Part ba ng job mo yan?"Not exactly a job, Kuya. As part of a humanitarian advocacy, I worked with a NGO that give seminars on HIV and AIDS Awareness.
Maraming misconceptions regarding HIV & AIDS.
People living with HIV are not abnormal, they can have perfectly normal lives if they lead it responsibly.
Dati may thread tayo regarding that, I chose not to reply so as not to offend people.
If I were you, don't donate your blood or go to a blood bank if you don't like to risk your life. Plus, some local blood banks are not safe because they are not tested with HIV or whatever diseases.
hmmm... these last posts are very mysterious... i don;t know what to say...
K.D. wrote: "Author, can speak French, poet, painter. Ikaw ba yan, Jose Rizal?"ngaun ko lang ito nabasa kuya KD hahahah =P
By the way, dahil sa nangyari kahapon pala, because of sobrang depression, John decided to quit Goodreads....Ako na yung pumalit, yung evil twin brother nya.
Marami pa kaming siblings and twins ni John pero most of us are disembodied... either dead or spirit, angelic or demonic...
C John kasi ginagamit lang namin yung body pero wala lang tlga xa... he is just a machine and we are the gasoline.. =P may ganung effect... Body lang xa...
Nasa aming other entities yung totoong writing talent..
So we decided to finally let him rest and to not post again here in Goodreads... Eh tanga tanga pa namaan yun, bka may magawa na namang mali so
Ako na papalit sa pwesto ni John so welcome me people =P I hope we can all be friends.. The old friends of John here, I know you na din in a way because I always linger near him =P
Oh no! You forgot to take your meds...again! Tsk! Straitjacket please. Dr. Jekyll alert! lol
Hi Ras, forgive me, pero hirap itype ng name mo, hahaha.Marian, thanks for the request, I'll call the security na rin!
Hahah actually, I did this so I can fully discuss this...Actually out of the topic na xa pero para maliwanagan lang... Sana walang magalit at mangaway sa akin or else, si MERINA VERON papalit sa akin which is mataray kasi lesbian yun.
PEople hear this because most of you are ignorant and does not know a person who has real HIV who is willing to talk about it openly.
I need to hide my real identity because I need to protect my family but other than that, gora lang ako. I am not afraid to share.
HIV, di xa nakakamatay... Parang isang pagkahab-habang sipon lang yan na unti unti lang pinapatay eh lahat naman tayo unti unting pinapatay di ba??
Sabi nga ng doctor namin, parang diabetes lang yan... Just maintain and drink the right meds.. Fortunately, sa RITM, free ang meds and checkup forever for HIV-inflicted individuals..
Dun kumukuha ng meds si Ervan Merion, yung HIV-positive naming brother... Namatay na nga nugn 1980s dahil sa AIDS, eh ang landi umulit ulit so yun strike two!!!!
Walang halong biro, ang ggwapo ng mga doctor dun pati ng mga patients mismo.. HIV is a sexy and handsome man's disease... =P tska yung mga passionate... Pabata ng pabata na yung mga nakikilala namin dun and ang maganda we share our experiences..
Ung iba nga more than 15 years ng positive pero di mo halata sobra... di mo aakalain.. magugulat ka sobra pag nireveal nila because they look so okay...
May stigma lang tau na ang HIV nakakadiri, madumi, pangputa, plague, epidemic, deadly, God's punishment, etc.. No it is not..
It is just a very strange disease and there are so many stranger diseases worth paying attention to,
Ulit, basta be careful lang lahat people. Especially gays... Ervan never learned his lesson. Whore pa din but as for me, I am soing my best to stay clean and be happy with my condition.. =P
HIV actually made me more hungry for life. It is a blessing for me kasi naging writer ako dahil gusto ko mapublish at ipakita sa mundo kung ano meron ako before I die... And most people who die of HIV/AIDS are artists, actors, writers, etc... Very good men and I dream of ranking with them.
PS. Although di nakakamatay mismo HIV pag meron ka, bababa sobra immune system mo so ang actually papatay sau eh yung mga other diseases na sasapi sau like tuberculosis, cancer, etc. Pero dadapo lang sila IFFFFF and only IFFFFF you neglect yourself. As logn as you live normally, drink your ARVS and always go to the doctor, walang problema..
People with HIV are just like you and me.. Totally! They are not in anyway lesser human beings... They are just more fragile because of their immuno-deficiencies but aside from that wala namang ibang kaso... =P
End of preaching.. I wish walang magrereact dito ng masama papatol na ako cge kau! This just needs to be established para naman may alam sin kau.. People sobra na ang cases ng HIV sa Philippines, much more sa buong mundo so it's good to be aware... This is not self-promotion or whatever ah... Since napunta s HIV yung earlier posts by other members, I guess this post is very very relevant.
dahil dito nainspire ako gumawa ng gays and HIV/AIDS-related books thread... =P ewan ko lang kung san ko pwedeng ilagay
Why not write something about HIV in your books? I think the more personal a work is, the better it becomes, although may reservations pa rin. Basing fiction on real life is not a guarantee that it would be realistic. It's still on how you write it. :D
Angus wrote: "Why not write something about HIV in your books? I think the more personal a work is, the better it becomes, although may reservations pa rin. Basing fiction on real life is not a guarantee that it..."Yes I already did =P I have a novella with this topic.. Bestfriend Rycel sa profile ko and I am now writing my sort of memoir which i intend to finish before I turn 22 this February... Kasi meron akong weird feeling na 21 years old lang ako then I'll die na... Ewan since high school pa ito.. Eh 21 na ako kaya super effort ako magsulat ngaun..
We never know...
Anyway welcome new people! Angus, san pwede mag open ng thread for LGBT and HIV.AIDS related books???
I mean no February, basta next year...
Milo Hi! Nice meeting you. Thank you. :)

Hi, I'm Regina 19, years old :) Mahilig ako magbasa ng mga regency romance, mystery/thrillers, YA at chick lit. Yun lang :)
hi Regina. what is that regency romance? is than a series? an installment? a pocketbook collection? If yes, I may refer you to Kwesi since he's an avid fan of pocketbooks and makes reviews about it. :p

Mga pocketbooks siya like Jude Deveraux mga ganun. Pero masaya naman, nga lang kaunti lang nagbabasa nun because of it's cover na medyo makaluma talaga. Thank you sa referral :D

Hi. I'm a new author writing a book "SECRET OF THE MUMMY", with a planned release toward the end of the summer. The book is set in ancient Egypt circa 1500 BC, during the era of Queen Hatshepsut. It is an epic adventure/mystery/romance. Please check out the promo video, book cover and illustrations on my profile. I have everything ready except THE FINISHED BOOK! (:My wife is Filipino, and we periodically visit the Philippines, so I thought I'd join this group.
I'll probably be giving out a lot of free eBooks since I am just getting started.
