Jus*in Time by Justin B. Terry-Smith Justin— I’m twenty-seven years young. I contracted HIV on February 15, 2010, from a guy who didn’t tell me but then maybe I really didn’t want to know.

Hi Justin: I am HIV-positive; I was diagnosed April 2012. I think I have dealt with my diagnosis very well. But I do have my moments of weakness. Last night I was talking to a guy who is a good friend who I’m in love with. We have been seeing each other since the summer [...]

Just*in Time by Justin B. Terry-Smith Good Evening Justin, I said this before but it just seems like I know you—it’s your smile. But this is the reason for this message: I’m living with HIV as are a couple of my friends. Now, one thinks that people who have sex without disclosing should be jailed [...]

by Justin B. Terry-Smith Dear Justin, I have a question: Can openly gay men who are positive join the Army or Air Force? —Detox I was in the Air Force for four years. I served honorably as an HIV-negative, semi-closeted gay man. When I say semi-closeted, I mean I didn’t tell anyone about my sexuality [...]

by Justin B. Terry-Smith Hi Justin, I actually just read on your blog, Justin’s HIV Journal, that you are now a foster/adoption parent in the state of Maryland—that is wonderful. [Editor’s note: Justin and his husband Phil just became foster/adoptive parents to a beautiful LGBT teen in Maryland.] I’m so happy for you both; I [...]

Hi Justin, I found your site through a friend of mine who knows you personally, but I do not want to share his name. I’m a twenty-six-year-old HIV-positive female. Well, I just found out two days ago that I’m pregnant. I’m scared of transmitting HIV to my unborn child; what should I do? I haven’t been [...]
