About Me
Name:ThomPoz
Location:Midwest, United States
When my story in POZ Feb/March 1995 came out within a month Keith Lewis of “Proof Positive” a division of the Morgan Modeling agency asked to represent me. He prepared me for what was to come, mainly the talk show circuit here and in Canada. The whirlwind of press, conferences, magazines, appearances, and Talk shows soon followed. Soon thereafter in November 1995's The Advocate coined the phrase Thom Collins-HIV Supermodel suddenly realized this is not what I had anticipated nor was prepared for. All of this “sensational press” came from an appearance on Phil Donahue's show dealing with AIDS and individuals like myself making it look sexy being HIV positive and then later accused of “Glamorizing the Disease”. Sadly my message of “I am HIV positive, I have no time to be negative” or why can't people with HIV/AIDS be HEALTHY while still looking or being in touch as sexual beings got lost in the shuffle.
More on this further down.
