三、阅读理解
Five years ago，when I was diagnosed to be HIV positive， I didn’t know what to do.I felt I was alone in this world.I did not disclose_my status to my family.I kept everything to myself until I was introduced to a peer support.The group was very welcoming.I found people in a situation like me，and I am not alone.I committed my services and support to that peer group.
Eventually，I felt something was missing.There was a feeling of emptiness.My family does not know where I work and where I stay.They cannot visit me，but on the contrary I am compelled to visit them regularly in the province.A five long hours of journey from Manila going South.Tiring!
Many of my peers are gone.Most are not accepted by their families.Some did not even disclose their HIV status.Many are bedridden without a family member on their side to care for them.A painful death，the way I see it.Other’s experiences prompted me to think about disclosing my status to my family.I started in subtle(微妙的)ways like bringing home a panel of AIDS Memorial Quilt where I can do patchwork(缝制)for a lost friend.The AIDS Memorial Quilt started the conversation until eventually I was able to disclose my HIV status to my family.Nothing has changed with our relationship within the family.They have accepted me and treated the same way as if I do not have HIV.I am more comfortable and happy now.
Family is still the best support system for an individual like me.An enabling，non-discriminating environment is a big factor in order to live long and healthy for positive people.
