My name is Puanthanh Gangmei, the founder of blogcastor.com. I am a web designer and online publisher. I publicly like to acknowledged that I have AIDS and I am Happy. I have been involving myself in many online campaign for Aid and HIV. And my Twitter page talks about it. But never thought I am Positive myself. Today Monday 17th May 2010, I found out that I am HIV positive. I had tested 3-4 times before but was found negative. But today my wife and my 1/six months year old daughter was diagnosed with it. I have heard stories about peoples how HIV Aids have destroyed their life,family, career and even committed suicide. But not with me and I say again ‘Yahoo! I have Aids’. I like to give a big thank to the information media(s) about HIV and Aids. If I am not educated about Aids I would have been like those people I read about. Tears rolled down from my wife eyes as she informed me about the doctor’s report. But I am proud and happy when I hear her say ” Honey, we are not doing to die. There is treatment and we are going to fight together”. I am worried for my daughter’s health and when she find out that she is HIV positive. But I do hope everything will be alright as time will take it own course. To my friends and love ones I am happy and okay. I am starting a new blog called Red Ribbon Blog ( rrb.blogcastor.com/) and I am designing right now a Wordpress theme for the blog and will be available for free download when I finish it.
Let me end up by saying: Today I am more human and full of hope.
I will be glad if you can comment on my first post about my life with aids
