"Well, he was of course lucky to have you, and it's a shame you guys broke up. But what a cool guy he was, right? He was cool and brave enough to go out with a poz guy and you have to give him credit for that, right?"

October 11 had a different valence for me this year: less than two months ago (55 days ago but who's counting?) I came out "officially" -- to the world at large and on the World Wide Web -- as being HIV-positive. Since I was not a contestant on Project Runway (rooting for you, Mondo!) I used a different technological medium: I said what I needed through a status update on Facebook.

First words. Some self-introducing to do - which, for me anyway, is usually an awkward business. Hulloos. I'm Jay Vithalani, the newest "kid" on the POZ blog block. I'm 37-years-old (will be 38 next month). I'm a gay man. I'm a graduate student in the humanities - trust me, you don't want to know in what specific field, at least not yet. And I've been HIV-positive for just over five years now.
