I notice since posting that below that I have still received PM traffic. While I'm curious, at this point I am not curious enough to pay for VIP. I'm keeping a low-ish profile at the moment. Since I don't wish to be rude, let me suggest:

I feel like this is a game of clue.... are you the Op of the scary hiv+ post? If so, I don't understand. .. why bring the info to light? To scare the bejesus out of newcomers? To confirm your suspicions? Because those in the know already should recognize the old photos just as you did. It would be nice to hear the ladies pov but if she didn't dispel the rumors initially that doesn't look to promising either In any event,  I hope some clarity and insight can be gained in this situation.  I for one am always looking to learn something on these boards. And maybe the lesson is one we have all heard before. Mainly to be vigilant in protecting and preserving our own status and health.  

The negativity, presumption, and cluelessness of the two responses I received is a fine example of why I don't visit here often enough to make VIP worth my while. There are too many negative and paranoid projections on the part of some of the more childish inmates.  

Tia Tayor and "tmimiw" were perhaps misled by Yokozuna58 into thinking that Phook999 and I were the same.  

I appreciate the response from TER deleting the offensive post. As a result, I may well reconsider VIP status.
