POZIAM RADIO

As someone who has survived living with HIV/AIDS for a quarter of a century, Bob Breining’s unique and heartfelt approach to the fight against HIV/AIDS is greatly welcomed. Bob exemplifies courage and compassion through his survival, as well as his advocacy and outreach. It is an honor to call Bob my friend.

In a relatively short time, Bob has gone from coping with the news of his own diagnosis, to sharing his story as a public speaker and through his personal blog. He has gone on to develop an informative and resourceful website, as well as creating a non-sexual caring online community for folks around the world who are HIV positive... POZIAM.

Bob’s tag line “In hopes of inspiring” is an understatement. This spirited young man has provided hope and inspiration to many, including me.

Each of us must find our place in the fight against AIDS, as well as in addressing its associated stigma. Without a doubt, Bob has carved a loving niche in providing comfort, education and awareness. He truly is an extraordinary soul! I am deeply inspired, not to mention forever grateful for his determined efforts.

POZIAM is one of the most exciting upcoming sites for HIV/AIDS. POZIAM is an assortment of family, friends, newbies and long-term survivors; specifically founded to benefit both infected and affected individuals. This is a great balance as some come here to learn, others come here to share.

There is no greater feeling than being comforted by someone who has experienced a diagnosis of HIV, or knowing you have helped someone realize that their journey is not one they need to take alone. Paths cross for many different reasons, diversity of the members makes it an interesting place to gather, communicate, and find support and acceptance.

The site offers a safe place to make friends, and find needed support and friendships by sending instant messages, utilizing the chat room, and posting public and/or private comments. I am very pleased with the friendliness and overall support of the members here on POZIAM. Great site, great support, and making new friends are just an added benefit.

I actually wanted to thank you. We met briefly at World AIDS Day @ Broad Street Ministry. The t-shirt you were wearing... "POZIAM" just made me think...WOW!!! Here's a guy boldly going where I wish I went 17 years ago when I was first diagnosed. You really are an inspiration to all... young, old(er)... newly diagnosed/long term survivor. I just started posting on Poziam... because I still only have dial-up... But, as long as I'm connected to the HIV community... I'm good. Anyhoo, thanks! You are greatly appreciated...

I was invited to POZIAM by Bob Bowers, aka One Tough Pirate and when I arrived, I instantly fell in love with everyone. POZIAM supplies the members with a safe, supportive environment where friendships are encouraged. I am proud to be a member of POZIAM, and even prouder to call each and every member a friend.

This past year has been kind, saddening, and at times very rewarding. I will admit, that some of the best times have been meeting so many wonderful people including people from POZIAM. Like everyone else, yes I have met some... let's say... undesirable people, but that's life and so be it. A lot of people don't think true friendships can come from a website. I used to think that also. I was wrong. I have met some wonderful people and I am so thankful.
