RIP John Szewczyk

2011-03-06T20:32:00.000-08:00

I'm very sad to say long time LVLPWA Campout coordinator, John Szewczyk passed away. He will be sorely missed by every camper thats every come to the campouts. He loved each and every one of us.
John made plans before he passed to make sure the campouts kept going. These campouts were too important let let end.

Sun, Fun and Men

2007-05-12T10:40:00.000-07:00

Friday was a busy day at the campground getting all the campers checked in, the newbies shown around. The weather has been absolutely beautiful: the sun has been shining and mild temperatures. The guys got their tents set up, had a few cocktails and got to meet some new friends. Last night my lover and I threw a big cocktail party on the hill by our cabin which was decorated like a disco on acid. The party lasted a couple of hours until the men stumbled down the hill to find a midnight snack to play with.
Today has been wonderful also. The guys are lounging around, some are playing the games we have scheduled, the sun is shining; it's a great day to be in the woods!

2 Days until the campout

PWA CampoutCampers Perspective
Located in the center of the DFW/Houston/San Antonio triangle. Free camping weekend for HIV+ with a limited income. Food, drink and campsite provided.The Texas Conference of Clubs owns and operates a private 35-plus acre campground outside of Cameron, Texas. Cameron is located in central Texas about 80 miles northeast of Austin and 35 miles east of Temple. The conference is composed of GLBT member clubs, community organizations and independent members throughout Texas. Some of these clubs are bear, leather, nudist, bar, service and social groups. There is a variety of "runs" held on weekends throughout the year and some "unruns" that are cheaper but do not provide meals. There is regular camping too.For 10 years in May and September, the conference sponsors a Lady Victory Lust/PWA Campout for gay HIV+ men. It runs from Friday noon to Sunday noon (Gay Standard Time). Most gay men do not "rough it" at least when it comes to camping and this is no exception. It's more like being in a gay bar because there is more camp then camping. Six meals are provided along with campsite, toilets, hot/cold water showers and electricity. A wading pool is good for skinny-dipping with 25 of your closest friends and a leathermen's playground for those that like the wild side. Being a hopeful romantic, I prefer the hammock to a sling.Bring a tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, pillows, flashlight, sun screen and bug spray. A radio, fan and long extension cord would be helpful. A pink flamingo or a personal artistic touch is always welcomed. Some tents and air mattresses are on hand, so ask. A bunkhouse is available to those with special physical needs. The campers are very friendly and socializing, cruising and hiking are some but not all of the favorite activities. Alcohol is allowed. Beer is included with various groups holding cocktail parties at various times of the day. Clothing is optional and fun is encouraged. The highlight of the weekend is the Saturday night show known throughout Texas as the "best drag show in Cameron" however Cameron has the ugliest women in Texas. There are just limits to what makeup and alcohol can do. After the show, the campers display their vocal talents with karaoke. The most important of the few rules is "What happens in Cameron, stays in Cameron".The cost of the LVL/PWA Campout is free to HIV+ gay men on a limited income or $25 for those who are working. No membership is required and HIV- lovers are welcome to attend. You will need to arrange your own transportation. An application can be found on the TCC web site. Send it in at least a month before because space is limited. In May 2004, there were about 120 guys from Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and the rest of Texas. Additional information and directions will be provided with confirmation of your reservation.Sponsored by Texas Conference of Clubs.

Camper massage program

2006-08-14T13:31:00.000-07:00

Hey guys....Master Steven Lloyd has been giving free massages at the PWA campouts for a while now and has been overwhelmed with work, so he is asking for your help. If you are a massage therapist and would like to offer free massages to the campers, read his letter below. For anyone looking for info on the poz campout, scroll down.

Hello HAPPY CAMPERS,A couple notes on the LVL-PWA CAMPOUT'S Volunteer Massage Therapy Program.First of all I'm glad to say I've gotten one other Therapist offering his services. However I'd like a roster of 6-8 Therapist to pull from, as NOT every Therapist will be available for every campout. For this reason I'd like to ask ya'll again to talk up the program in your hometown and refer anyone that may be intrested to me. I think by drawing from other cities throught the state that we would only help premote the campouts also.Also...I AM planning to attent the Sept. 22-24th Campout (if my employer allows for the weekend off.) So pass the word on to your friends & look for the sign up sheet at the registration table (& please DO NOT QUESTION JOHN S. (CAMP COORDINATOR) about massage. He has more than enough on his plate.Lastly, I had a camper from Austin come up to me at the spring weekend & offer his assistance. It was Sunday morning though & I was exausted & didn't get his contact information for that reason. If anyone knows a camper named "Hector" who is a Mssage Therapist in Austin ask him if he is the one that spoke /w me. Then please...if the answer was yes, give him me contact information.Thank You ALL.In Leather Service,Mr Steven Lloyd Lamb, RMTLVL-PWA CAMPOUTSVolunteer Massage Therapy Coordinaton/Founder& "MASTER of LEATHER 2003"aka "Master Steven Lloyd"2118 Elmen St.studioONEHouston, TX 77019-6802(832)474-8845mstrstevenlloyd@yahoo.com

_____PWA CampoutCampers Perspective
Located in the center of the DFW/Houston/San Antonio triangle. Food, drink and campsite provided.The Texas Conference of Clubs owns and operates a private 35-plus acre campground outside of Cameron, Texas. Cameron is located in central Texas about 80 miles northeast of Austin and 35 miles east of Temple. The conference is composed of GLBT member clubs, community organizations and independent members throughout Texas. Some of these clubs are bear, leather, nudist, bar, service and social groups. There is a variety of "runs" held on weekends throughout the year and some "unruns" that are cheaper but do not provide meals. There is regular camping too.For 10 years in May and September, the conference sponsors a Lady Victory Lust/PWA Campout for gay HIV+ men. It runs from Friday noon to Sunday noon (Gay Standard Time). Most gay men do not "rough it" at least when it comes to camping and this is no exception. It's more like being in a gay bar because there is more camp then camping. Six meals are provided along with campsite, toilets, hot/cold water showers and electricity. A wading pool is good for skinny-dipping with 25 of your closest friends and a leathermen's playground for those that like the wild side. Being a hopeful romantic, I prefer the hammock to a sling.Bring a tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, pillows, flashlight, sun screen and bug spray. A radio, fan and long extension cord would be helpful. A pink flamingo or a personal artistic touch is always welcomed. Some tents and air mattresses are on hand, so ask. A bunkhouse is available to those with special physical needs. The campers are very friendly and socializing, cruising and hiking are some but not all of the favorite activities. Alcohol is allowed. Beer is included with various groups holding cocktail parties at various times of the day. Clothing is optional and fun is encouraged. The highlight of the weekend is the Saturday night show known throughout Texas as the "best drag show in Cameron" however Cameron has the ugliest women in Texas. There are just limits to what makeup and alcohol can do. After the show, the campers display their vocal talents with karaoke. The most important of the few rules is "What happens in Cameron, stays in Cameron".No membership is required and HIV- lovers are welcome to attend. You will need to arrange your own transportation. An application can be found on the TCC web site. Send it in at least a month before because space is limited. In May 2004, there were about 120 guys from Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and the rest of Texas. Additional information and directions will be provided with confirmation of your reservation.Sponsored by Texas Conference of Clubs.

Cured of HIV

Im really skeptical about this story. Im sure it will be debunked. Why would you get another HIV test after a year, unless you thought that the first result may have been a mistake? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4432564.stm

Positivism

I created this blog as a way to gather information from around the internet about HIV/AIDS issues and put them in one place. Im an HIV positive internet junkie, and am always finding interesting tidbits of info that you might not otherwise get a chance to read. Hopefully this will give us a chance to learn something together.
