My name is Denis Robinson.  I have been living with, and learning to understand, HIV since August 1st 2007. It hasn't always been the easiest of relationships, but with time we have come to an agreement. I make accommodations for it and it allows me to live my life as I see fit. At the ripe old age of 43 I like to think I have lived Half a Lifetime. And what a half it's been.

I have been very fortunate to have a fabulous life so far, with the exception of a couple of years learning to accept my new reality. But I now look forward with excitement to everything in front of me, having learned oh so many lessons from the past. Born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, I visited London in 1988 for a 3-month working holiday, and never went home.

After 23 years I think my mother has finally accepted that I am here to stay. I am fortunate to live my life as an openly gay and openly poz man. i hope that my posts give you an insight into ME and my journey. And feel free to check out my other blog Half a Lifetime.
