  Donohue's speech focused on the accomplishments of the organization including Operation Get Tested and became a source of motivation and inspiration to encourage the scholars to take their experience from the conference home, to challenge their peers to become leaders and make a change in todays society as Donohue and many others with the organization have done across the United States."I was amazed at what our global society has to look forward to, these students are brilliant and want to have their voices heard" says Tom Donohue, "I was proud and honored to have been asked to be their Key Note Speaker to kick off nearly two weeks of activities that will take them from their home counties to Washington, DC ending in New York City."

  Around 40 students came to listen to the story of Tom Donohue, an HIV-positive 27-year-old man. After the discussion, audience members were given the opportunity to receive free and confidential testing for HIV and syphilis.
  
  Sealed cards were passed out to audience members.Donohue, founder and executive director of Who's Positive, was sitting in the audience.He walked to the front of the room and shared his story.
  
  His account began when he first got tested, and eventually discovered that HIV could infect anyone.At the age of 23, Donohue was diagnosed as HIV positive.He described how his life changed.
  
  "One moment of passion, a brief moment of irresponsibility," and he and his partner's life forever changed.
  
  Donohue shared his personal experiences of the time he told his parents, the treatment towards recovery and the difficulties and costs of prolonging his life.He said some of the most difficult times were contacting previous partners and informing them of his diagnosis.
  ...
  It's great that Mr. Donohue is trying to build awareness across the country."
  
  As the crowd cleared the room, Donohue spoke gravely about the lesson he has learned."If I could turn back time and simply protect myself, I would.If you are touched, if you are moved, move yourself to make a difference.This is your life we are talking about."

  ...
  Who's Positive was created after Tom Donohue, Founder of Who's Positive found out that he was HIV+ In October of 2003.He stood up and spoke unexpectedly at a World AIDS Day Event at the Pennsylvania State University.Tired of keeping this a secret, he wanted to reach out to bring HIV to the forefront and to let his peers know that the virus was in their back yards and that is it not an experience they want to go through or an experience they want to put their families, friends or loved ones through.

  Tom Donohue has a mission: to spare his peers the challenges of living with HIV.One incident of unprotected sex was all it took to change Tom's life forever, and he doesn't want it to happen to anyone else.Months after his diagnosis, Tom founded Who's Positive, an organization committed to educating young people about HIV prevention through the best possible conduit: their peers."I want them to know what it feels like to have to tell your parents and your roommates, and to remind them that there are people with HIV in everyone's backyard."In October 2006, Tom and the "Operation: Get Tested" tour will bring six HIV-positive young people to colleges and high schools around the country so they can share their stories and send a clear message how each and everyone of us can prevent HIV.
  ...
  First, My name is Tom Donohue, I am the 28 year old founder of a national HIV awareness organization called Who's Positive.I feel compelled to share these stories with you today.
  
  Today I went to my infectious disease doctors' office for an appointment, see I too am HIV positive, so these stories had a great impact on me. While sitting there I noticed an older man sitting in a chair it was obvious that he was not feeling well.His head was hunched over and appeared drained.
  ...
  Check out the pictures by clicking on Photo Gallery and don't forget facebook (friend me -- Tom Donohue or Cree Gordon) and our yuckie myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/whospositive I really need to find someone to do something with it.

  ...
  Tom, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your coming to Pensacola and sharing your message of hope and prevention to the students at Washington High School and the University of West Florida.
  ...
  Please, do yourselves a favor, do your students a favor, call Tom.Get him to your schools.

  "Our early experience on the tour made us realize that we had an opportunity to really make a difference by spending more time on a campus in a more integrated way, rather than just spend an hour talking to an audience," said Tom Donohue, executive director for Who's Positive.Our challenges on the ground with our bus and it's driver will not stop our speakers and our dedication to continue seeing Operation Get Tested and its successes continue.To continue using the bus under circumstances which made the environment on the bus stressful would have been irresponsible for Who's Positive.I made the decision in the best interest of everyone on board.Now we are even more determined to reach more of our peers and focus on getting them tested" Donohue says.
  ...
  We believe that tireless planning by Who's Positive, its staff and speakers along with execution by local host committees will allow Operation Get Tested to continue onward with or without our speakers allowing for young adults all across the United States to get tested and empower themselves to know their status, says Donohue.
  ...
  But I think me being there alone was a reminder that Tom's here and he's not going anywhere and hopefully it's a reminder to play safe.
  
  I am off to bed, my roommate is drunk on the floor in the living room but at least I know he's safe and ok, for tonight he may sleep where he is, glad to know he's ok.
  
  Good night all.
  ...
  I know you are all saying "Tom you just started them" well yeah it was easy to get off routine and just not take them.
  ...
  Tom could use some lovin -- heck someone to cuddle wiff so I'm not alone on days like today.
  ...
  My roommates friend came to her, probably in a joking manner and asked, who do you think will last longer Tom or Tuller (I have an 8 month old kitten).My roommate knows that I will take humor like this lightly so she told me.
  ...
  God Bless you Tom ... stay well pat"
  
  First, Thank You.I don't think the relationship with my Dad bothers me as much as my mom disowning me.My Mom, I think was a big support system growing up.I love her Mom, my grandmother so much and when she died I think I realized how special I was to have such a great Mom.Now dad was never home, he was always away with the Army.I don't approve of my mom cheating but I think in some ways I understand?See I love my mom dearly, very much, but she was cheating on dad for years.
  ...
  Tom
