Hillary misspoke and she corrected her statement and is deeply sorry.

For those of you that don't know I was diagnosed with full blown AIDS back in 2005 and was not expected to leave the hospital alive. Since then I have never been considered HIV+ but someone living with AIDS.

I am not holding it against her for the simple fact when President Clinton & Hillary took Washington D.C by storm in 1993, we immediately saw a drastic increase in AIDS funding and the Clinton White house even started the first ever AIDS task force that worked in the White House.

No, I won't hold her misspoke against her.

Anyone who tries to take advantage of this for nefarious reasons, is worse than what they are trying to make Hillary out to be.

Thank God for the Clinton's initiative back in the 90's. If not for them, myself & many of my brethren would not be here today.
