Guaranteed my message to President Obama is dismissed: Hopefully I am proven wrong!

I am almost certain, as a little bee - in the bee-hive of the healing honey -  in support of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy -  in the fight aginst HIV/AIDS within our own nation, President Obama will never see this video or respond. . . let's see!  Share this message on your social media links!  Join me on Youtube, Twitter and Facebook to share this message!  I even guarantee Ellen DeGeneres our newly appointed HIV Envoy / Spokesperson will ignore this too! Prove me wrong!! I am watched by thousands across the nation.

Dear President Obama:

My name is Daniel Bauer, I am the official successor to the legendary escape artist Harry Houdini.

I am living with HIV/AIDS. I am in admiration of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and in repsonse have renewed my commitment in bringing awareness about this National epidemic to ears and eyes of many.

I am stunned that on the National Level we have yet to attach a common FACE or VOICE of those like me who are willing to speak out loud in this fight to end AIDS. I want to be your national voice and face.

I have experienced the worst kind of discrimination and medical related issues attached to this illness. I want to be a force of hope and a message of life for the nation.

Please put me in touch with the people who can help make this happen.

My message is clear and followed by thousands internationally at http://www.livingpozitively.com

Let's win this fight together. Use my face, use my voice. . . only good can come from this!

I await your invitation.

I will blog and YouTube this same message in the next 7 days. Let's see if you, President Obama, are listening to my message -  to put myself out there to make a difference.

I am almost certain this message will be ignored. . .

If not, then there is hope and I will cry with amazement that you do listen!

With hope for life and dignity for all living with HIV/AIDS. . .,

Daniel Bauer,
I am living pozitively

Dialed into D-A-D. . . Honest or Lie?

Curiosity about what the protocol is, when dialed into the "Digital Age of Dating" (D-A-D), and a profile question asks to list your  "status" (when you know you are poz or don't know)  do you select (1) Positive (2) Don't Know (3) Negative (4) Leave Blank? I have friends who are poz, who select "negative" because of fear they will never meet anyone. Is this being honest. . .  shouldn't you leave the question blank so you are not misleading. . .? Should you be honest, or do you lie in fear of being "labelled" as not-dateable before a conversation even starts. . .

Please comment. . . if you have time.

I am Daniel and I am Living Pozitively.

"I would date you if you had cancer but not HIV?"

Question to those who read this (I would appreciate any insight / comments):

"If your partner told you he/she had Cancer vs. HIV (or the other way around) would the reaction be different?"

    it is little chilly for me now

 dbcool73 9:26 am
    yeah I might. . .  I am just going to lay out - it is supposed to get up to 80 today I think

 A_Friend 9:50 am
    did u post a new video in ur blog yet?

 dbcool73 9:50 am
    yep! this morning

 A_Friend 9:53 am
    about a message u got on ur facebook?

 dbcool73 9:54 am
    huh?
    that one was posted on Wed - then I posted one this morning about unprotected sex

 A_Friend 9:56 am
    just watched it
    daniel if u had cancer would u act the same way

 dbcool73 9:58 am
    you can't contract cancer from sex.
    what kind of question is that?

 A_Friend 9:59 am
    just asking

 dbcool73 10:00 am
    well I am not sure I understand (A_Friend).
    You just gave me the next topic for my v-log post for tmw! LOL

 A_Friend 10:00 am
    cancer?

 dbcool73 10:00 am
    I am going to ask my friends for comments on your question - by all means I won't mention your name.

 A_Friend 10:01 am
    reason i asked that question

 dbcool73 10:01 am
    I don't get it - HIV and the stigmas associated with cancer are dynamically different.

 A_Friend 10:01 am
    wanna know?

 dbcool73 10:01 am
    yeah of course.
    cause it makes no sense to me.

 A_Friend 10:01 am
    the year 2001 i dated w jason who is hiv poz

 A_Friend 10:01 am
    he told me he was poz 3 weeks after we started dating

 dbcool73 10:01 am
    can we talk about this on skype please

 A_Friend 10:02 am
    i freaked out
    no
    we did not have anal sex yet
    after he told me we did safe sex though
    i was still nervous having sex w him
    then i talked to my one my great friend
    i asked him if i should continue dating yet or not
    due to his disease
    he said would u date him if he had cancer

 A_Friend 10:03 am
    i said yes
    so diseases dont make any difference ur brain does
    he said
    thats why i asked u that question

 dbcool73 10:04 am
    mmmm interesting.

 A_Friend 10:04 am
    now u know
    and as of now
    i still talk to jason as a friend

 dbcool73 10:05 am
    Well (A_Friend), if I was living with cancer, I am not sure I would be as active in educating the world - I think the world is very well plugged in when it comes to Cancer and not HIV.

 A_Friend 10:06 am
    but also the world should know that people with hiv live longer than people with cancer
    that does not mean u should have unprotected sex

 dbcool73 10:07 am
    you are right - but you can't contract cancer from sex (A_Friend) - the stigma associated with HIV is "you are un-dateable" because we can't have sex.

 A_Friend 10:07 am
    all i am saying is being uneducated about diseases makes people see the scary mask

 dbcool73 10:08 am
    I agree - which is why I am doing the blog!

 A_Friend 10:08 am
    does not matter what kind of disease is

 dbcool73 10:08 am
    but it does to the world (A_Friend)!
    I have to share through my eyes and how the world looks at me through their eyes.
    Cancer and HIV carry VERY different Stigmas.

 A_Friend 10:09 am
    but in common part of them is

 dbcool73 10:09 am
    i agree,
    This is a good topic - I am going to talk about this and post it tmw - this conversation puts a lot of questions in my mind.

 A_Friend 10:10 am
    they r the biggest scary diseases in the world or usa

 dbcool73 10:10 am
    yes they are.
