I am positive is a great game that should be made available for middle, high schools and even college students to teach them not only all about HIV and AIDS, but also about the misconceptions people tend to have toward the disease. The way a positive HIV person thinks about the disease has a lot of impact on the progression of HIV. The more a person with HIV behaves positively toward the disease, the better the health outcomes.
