Comments are also reviewed after posting and may be removed. Posts that contain "signatures" by someone other than the actual author, make false or misleading claims about HIV and AIDS, solicit funds, or that contain personal attacks or libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, or otherwise illegal or inappropriate material or statements will be removed from the site. Comments and links that are unrelated to the topic of the post may also be deleted.
