I do things differently and started 2016 with a new hair colour….let’s GO #BeyondHIV
It took me SIX years after diagnosis in 2004 to go public with my HIV status. It was not easy……
Today it is FIVE years since taking that plunge!
My thanks to ALL the people that supported this event and to those that have paved the way for me since, your presence has been unwavering.
Many Thanks to:
Charlotte Kemp and Shawn Fouche for sponsoring my website and ‘forcing’ me to:
SPEAK OUT
My Mother of course deserves more than anyone, my thanks, as she has been my, in her words, ‘biggest fan’ since going public.
I look forward to many healthy years and support going forward as I still have plenty to do!
Game On!
My quote for Viber Press Release Today
“We’re in a new era of HIV care and prevention”, says Cindy Pivacic, HIV Speaker, Trainer and Activist. “Viber Public Chats represent an ideal platform for spreading messages and debating HIV issues.” Cindy’s decision to go public with her status was prompted by her own experience with the disease. After acquiring numerous illnesses associated with HIV and AIDS, Cindy realised that she would not cope without the help of others. “Through the use of Viber Public Chats, I hope to bring together a group of people who have experiences to share and discuss HIV knowledge, stigma and prevention and ultimately call on people to get tested.”

World AIDS Day 2015 – Testimony from Redge
I’m Redge, one of the interns at Atlas Copco.
It was an honor for me to have witnessed your presentation and testimony about HIV/Aids. I hope to be as eloquent as you one day and to possess at least half of the confidence that you have.
You have a soaring oratory.
I wish you all the best in all your endeavours!
‘AIDS Season’: The term I use for this time of the year.
What……is wrong with the rest of the year? Have people become complacent?
Is nobody at risk of HIV infection during the period of 11 months prior to WAD as I only receive an influx of enquiries and all for the same date, 1st Dec?
I am quite sure that Wellness Days are implemented throughout the year, if they aren’t, they should be, as communities need reminding. People believe ‘IT’ doesn’t affect them and turn a blind eye to the possibilities and in many cases engage in risky behaviour. (Not just SEX but alcohol and drug abuse amongst some of the issues that cause risky behaviour leading to HIV infection as well as STI’s)
I do appreciate the attention #HIV & #AIDS receives around this time of the year but to think that ‘IT’ has been taken care of until the next year is like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand, pretty useless!
If the pandemic is given the attention it deserves we would not have the HIGH number of infections that are happening in #SouthAfrica 400 and 350 THOUSAND respectively in 2012 and 2014. (Those that tested and know their status). #just saying
On that note:
I am pleased to say that I have a week-long diary filled with speaking engagements, a total of TEN Speaking engagements and an order for 40 of my books titled ‘The Deadly Seducer’.
Even though all the NPO/SARS documentation is delayed, I am going ahead with two engagements where the remuneration will be delayed due to this minor issue.
And to TOP the run up to the end of 2015 I will be hosting an ongoing Public Chat on Viber (check viber.com also on FB) when the South African forum is officially launched.
Get ready to follow the conversations which will include various guests and HIV involved celebrities that are willing to chat and contribute.
If you have input of value that is related in any form to HIV & AIDS feel free to contact me and get your name on the ‘hit’ list ASAP!

Wishing you all an informative
World AIDS DAY

Receiving affirmation makes the journey so much more meaningful.
I had a lovely note come via my LinkedIn message box recently and with permission I share the following which I appreciate Mmabatho taking the time out of her day to write to me.
Mmabatho Mfikwe – Chief Director at Public Works, Roads & Transport
‘I am dropping you a note to say I find your articles highly informative, candid and a must read for everyone. Just read the Deadly Seducer article….
As a Corporate Services manager, I deal with a variety of healthy lifestyle articles and I have to reflect on HIV AIDS amongst the topics one must research on, reflect and share information on at each Executive meeting.
I have referred our Departmental management team to your link and requested them to read up on your articles as well.
Thank you for sharing information’.
