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

February 25, 2011 - After two days and counting of illness, which included fever and coughing…. I was finally fit enough to make a mocha run late on Friday night. I quickly returned home to my pajamas and Halo.
