Comments on: Taiwan: HIV+ Bloggers' Love for Life http://globalvoicesonline.org/2008/12/01/taiwan-hiv-positive-bloggers-love-for-life/ The world is talking. Are you listening?

I would like to introduce myself: my name is Janet Feldman, and I am founder/director of two nonprofits addressing HIV/AIDS and development issues (one is an international arts coalition, ActALIVE, and the other the international branch of a Kenyan nonprofit, KAIPPG). I have agreed to be the lead editor of "Blogging Positively", a guide RV/GV is developing to address the world of blogging related to HIV/AIDS. This guide will be developed during the next few months. It is crucial that HIV+ bloggers, and those blogging about HIV/AIDS, be included as centrally as possible in the creation of this guide. I'm hoping that you (Portnoy) and anyone else reading this letter will be in touch with myself, Solana, David, Juhie, Daudi, Serina, and others involved in this work. Your feedback, ideas, suggestions, help, and direction will be greatly appreciated and most welcome! My email address is kaippg@earthlink.net. Also, there are chats on this subject that have taken place (Dec 3) or will in future (Feb 27), and we will post on the particulars soon. We hope for discussion in the rv-positively forum too. With greatest thanks for your inspiring activism, and hope to hear from you and many others about the guide. Anyone else who is reading this and is interested, please do be in touch! Dear Portnoy and All,

Hello and thanks so much for this deeply moving thread of conversation and sharing!

I would like to introduce myself: my name is Janet Feldman, and I am founder/director of two nonprofits addressing HIV/AIDS and development issues (one is an international arts coalition, ActALIVE, and the other the international branch of a Kenyan nonprofit, KAIPPG).

I have agreed to be the lead editor of “Blogging Positively”, a guide RV/GV is developing to address the world of blogging related to HIV/AIDS.

This guide will be developed during the next few months. It is crucial that HIV+ bloggers, and those blogging about HIV/AIDS, be included as centrally as possible in the creation of this guide.

I am the one who really learn a lot more than I could have imagined. @Solana Yes, I did found one HIV+ mother blogger who blogs about her health and her son, but I am sure there are more female HIV+ bloggers in Taiwan. Since you might already find that all the blogs I quote above are from one single BSP(PCHome), I believe there are other groups of HIV+ bloggers in different BSPs. Thanks!
