Couples and families living a normal life with a adnormal disease

Introduction
We have just started and hope to start providing writings and experiences shortly. Please be patient and if anyone would like to comment, please do so below. Thanks
My wife and I decided to do a blog to offer support and encouragement to straight normal married people living with this disease because almost none is available.
The goal of this blog is to focus on heterosexual married couples and families. Single parents dealing with HIV are welcome. Those of you that are gay, transexual or drug users, please find another forum and accept our best wishes and understanding.
About Us
We believe this disease can happen to anyone. HIV is always associated with Gays in America or Africans. It is always associated with panic and disease and obsession, sexual perversion, problems, therapy, drugs and everything negative. All the opposite from our life. We are happy fun loving and we sometimes forget that we have a medical problem. We believe others feel the same way. They are hidden from view like us because people like us don't make the news or fit the mold.
My wife and I have been together nearly 10 years. She is my best friend, soulmate, and lover. She is, intellegent, educated, honest, interesting, beautiful, the love of my life, and HIV positive.
My wife learned she was HIV positive shortly before we started going together. It was a shocked at first, but we dealt with it. I spent a lot of time in the beginning gathering information about the illness. But, we always felt that we were just a couple of normal people dealing with a unnormal illness. Susie never did drugs, was not promiscuous. The only thing she did was trust her former boyfriend who was not honest with her.
When we looked for some support, we found none for hetrosexual couples. We were not gay, depraved or drug users so we had to deal with the illness ourselves. After we got married we both felt it was the best decision we ever made and have been very happy together since.
