I'd like to propose some new (I think) terminology.  I first ran into this
in Dublin, Ireland, and I quite like the sound of it.  The term is
Body Positive, 'BP'.  It is used in place of the term HIV+.  I believe it
puts forth positive imagery of a disease that is devastatingly negative to 
most of the world.

I therefore ask that if you agree with the above, that you in turn impart
this positive terminology to your friends or anyone who is talking about
HIV+ individuals...spread the word...my heart felt THANKS.
