Welcome to our little chat space
on the internet where HIV positive people can reach out and meet others
from around the world with similar hopes and fears. We believe talking is
therapy! Meeting other POZ proves we are not alone. Please read the
rules to learn our chat etiquette. This is a free
donated service to you! These chats are an extension of
DaveyBoy's living room, the rules are
very important if you wish to stay and visit!

This is a free service funded and designed buy a HIV+ individual who designed
these sites to help himself to meet other HIV+ friends (the founder lives in a small
town in with no local AIDS organization or a car to travel to the "big city").
You can meet DaveyBoy (the founder of The HIV/AIDS Network) in the chat rooms,
but he is usually busy working on the web sites, so don't tie him up too long
please. These web sites are not sponsored or given any funding or grants, the are
entirely funded by the founder's disability check, but we are now trying a few
techniques to see if some money can be raised (advertising, hosting, etc) to
help cover expenses (almost $200/month to run all
POZ sites) without begging our members for donations.
So far the Founder has not been able to afford to become an organization, but a
business name has been established (The HIV/AIDS Network) so advertising and
other business related actions can be done. Help us, please.
Why did DaveyBoy choose 13KM.com as the domain name? Well, #1.) KM is a metric length (1 kilometer = 1,000 meters = 100,000 centimeters = 1,000,000 milimeters). #2.) 13 is DaveyBoy's lucky number. #3.) DaveyBoy feels as though he has come along way dealing with HIV (and kilometer is a large scale measurement), so put the too together and you have 13km.com!
