Today I gave my "dating with HIV" talk at the heterosexuals with HIV conference. I started out by spilling a glass of water all over my dress, which I've always thought is the ideal eye-catching, confidence-building way to open a presentation in front of 80-plus perfect strangers. It did earn me a round of applause later on in the talk, when I successfully drank from the replacement glass someone had brought me. So yay for diminished expectations, or something like that.
