I've previously speculated that I must have a superman immune system
because I've been HIV+ for over thirteen years without suffering any
symptoms associated with the virus.

It appears that someone else has had a similar idea.

Like most comic books, this one features superheroes who gain super
abilities through some act of misfortune. But in this case, that
misfortune is HIV. The nine heroes [...] learn they have become
HIV-positive ... either through unsafe sex, syringes, or from their
mothers at birth. Robert Walker created the comic, "O+Men."

[...]

Walker neither disdains his heroes nor glamorizes them.

Walker goes on to say: "What I did was create the super-heroes, and
they could be fabulous and amazing, but also show them the real life,
have them in real life situations of a person who has HIV."

Real life situations?  Shooting up and fagot sex, perhaps? LOL
