I wrote The Naked Truth because I wanted people to get the full story and not a sound bite or the one-hour prep speaking engagement. Most people can’t identify with who I am now because I am HIV-Positive but they can identify with who I was before. That is what makes me relate and shows people that I am just like them. This virus is real and just because you are ignorant or uneducated about HIV that does not make you immune. That is why I wrote The Naked Truth. I can’t be everywhere but my story can.

Just watched you on cspan2. I will purchase the book.My sister died a coup;e of years ago from HIV. I wished that she had been emotinally stronger in order to deal with all that it takes to care for yourself with the virus.I admire your strenght.Are you still uncomfortable on some level speaking in public? You seemed somwhat uncomfortable with some questions. I wish you peace and true happiness always.
Dear Marvelyn,
I am going through a tough time in my life and your book has helped me so much. It's like a gift from God. With my first year of college over with I have been doing some self reflecting and noticed that I need to learn to 1. Find myself 2. Feel myself and most of all 3. Love myself....I have been reading your book for the past few days and I was feeling quite depressed about not having a positive self image. As I was and still am going through the steps to come to know and love myself...your book held my hand through it. I noticed that I do was looking for approval and attention from others especially guys. I felt the need to be validated because I had yet to validate myself. But thanks to you and myself, a new day is dawning. I thought that I might share my facebook status for today with you : I'm gonna run today...stretch my limbs, spread my wings until I see the sun today...run...until I feel I can breathe again...cry until I can feel again....feel my heart beating with self love ♥. You are an inspiration to me and I wish you the best in the future. Thanks again!
Love and blessings,
Yas
Dear Marvelyn,
I think you are extraordinarly courageous. I am grateful that you have allowed god to use you to be a blessing to others even in your trials. You are absolutely right i can identify with the person that you used to be and reading your book has helped me see that because revelation truly isnt that until its revelation to you. Thank you for sharing your story.
May God continue to keep you and may his richest blessings and favor rest upon you
Be strong sis
