One of my favourite people is David Patient who is a long term AIDS survivor. He has lived with AIDS for 25 years. He calls it living with Bob.
David and Neil live on the fairy farm near Nelspruit. I met them almost 5 years ago, I will not pretend that I am best friends with them but I do pop in for a cuppa every now and again. Neil makes the most divine sandwiches.
Now the thing is that I have not met anyone as positive as David ever. He is both HIV + and mentally positive. David is awesome and when he gives me advice I listen. I know he is going to be in town over the season and I am definitely going to visit, You see I need some picking up and a visit at the fairy farm is always a tonic.
David and Neil, Guys I love you.

I think that being more positive is something that we all could do with. Good for him!
