I'm Shawn. I was diagnosed with HIV at age 11, infected through tainted blood products which were used to treat hemophilia, the genetic bleeding disorder I was born with. When I was diagnosed with HIV, I was given less than two years to live.
I survived.
Today, I am a writer (author of My Pet Virus), speaker (with Gwenn Barringer: shawnandgwenn.com) and musician (synthetic-division.com). I'm very happy and healthy and love my iced mochas... but focus on the first paragraph...
Since March 2009, I've posted pictures for Decker's Daily, soliciting iced mocha sponsorships from kind readers of my blog. For $5, you can buy a guy with AIDS- me- an iced mocha. They fuel my blog, my art- my life!
Simply paypal $5 to shawn at mypevirus dot com, and I'll toast you personally right here on Decker's Daily!
Positively Yours,
Shawn

January 28, 2010 Before lunch at Calvino, Gwenn and I popped into Shenandoah Joe for coffee. That’s me finding out that Nina Martinez didn’t sponsor me for TWO mochas, she sponsored one drink for me and a vanilla latte for Gwenn… who happily photobombs me over the news. (“Thanks Nina!” - Gwenn)
