At least they are honest, there are a lot of people living with HIV and they don't even know they're status!

True! They not only know, they are not attempting to keep it a secret...which some have done and infected others. I just hope this person isn't targeted because of this tattoo.

There is no defintive way of knowing whether or not anyone diagnosed "positive' actually has "HIV".
Tricia Sheeran:

You mean testing positive for HIV antibodies does not automatically equate with having an HIV infection. Nor is testing positive for HIV is the same as having AIDS.

Why? if he threw away the needle this is no problem...did you know the HIV virus only last on a surface for 17 seconds!...it needs a host..

I think that this person chose this Tat in order to always be honest with the public. Some people have a hard time coming out with this news. It's probably harder than telling your parents and friends that you're gay or marrying outside your race. It's hard to be honest with people because of the stigma society has placed on all of us. This is a brave person, making steps toward being able to finally, "exhale".

I hope the tattoo artist used the proper precautions too.

He used robotic arms attached to a plastic bubble.. sarcasm and ignorance don't mesh..

Having a cousin (who WAS a tattoo artist) now suffering greatly due to diseases he acquired through his work (made even worse with his son, Johnny, having to call ambulances to safe his life TWICE)....my comment was not based on ignorance or sarcasm.....yours, however, was based on assumptions.
Brittany Lewis:

There is no ignorance with the comment it's very true
Kristine Atherholt Racknor:

I see no ignorance in this post. a tatoo involves needles going into skin. Sometimes there are micro splats of blood that can't always be seen by the naked eye. It only takes a drop to get into someone's eye to put them at risk. The needles would also have to be thrown away instead of sterilized.
Deanna Smith:

Needles should NEVER be sterilized and reused!!

Randi Richardson:

A: That is not a 'she'. B: I'm shocked that no one has picked up on the grammar/spelling issue. It literally says: "HIV POSTTTVE" What does that mean exactly? Get it together internet. Get it together.

Melzitta Davis:

Yuck I would never go to his shop and get tatted with his needles.

More people should be as honest as her, there would be less sick in the world...

Ummmmm at least she is honest?

Joseph McDonald:

just use three condoms and latex gloves
The HAIG:
December 19, 2012 at 2:17 pm
why? Virus particles are at least 500 times smaller than the pores of an unopened latex condom. You should give true informed consent when telling people to use a faulty health product.

At least she is honest! I commend her... It probably takes a lot to do something like that... Don't judge a book by its cover and at least she has one... Think about the people that have come across someone that is HIV positive and didn't know at all...

La Viola Ward:

December 15, 2012 at 10:54 pm

Did anyone consider that the person thought the tattoo was going to say something else? Maybe they pissed off the wrong artist... It's on his/her back... they may have not seen it until it was too late.

Christina Getty:
March 27, 2013 at 11:53 pm
no....they could sue him.

Zoila Anderson:

February 27, 2013 at 4:47 pm

what about the tattoo artist and his tools? just saying

Dee Williamz:

February 27, 2013 at 11:12 pm

well no one can say I DIDn't KNOW before or after sex...

Ronald Reagan would think this was a good idea. Check this out:

"...Throughout all of this Reagan said nothing and did nothing. When Rock Hudson, a friend and colleague of the Reagans, was diagnosed with AIDS and died in 1985 (one of the 20,740 cases reported that year), Reagan still did not speak out as president. When family friend William F. Buckley, in a March 18, 1986, New York Times opinion article, called for mandatory testing for HIV and said that HIV-positive gay men should have this information forcibly tattooed on their buttocks (and IV-drug users on their arms) Reagan said nothing. "

I've seen this before with the caption that the guy was going to jail the next day.
