I’m about to turn 72 and tested positive 39 years ago. I do skincare for a living. I can pass for 60 and date guys in their 40s. I would prefer dating my own age but they all want to date 20s. Get daily exercise, always wear sunblock and use low ph 3.5-5.5 skincare and shampoo. I also am vegeterian.

I'm 30 going on 80. I've always had issues with my back, but they have definitely gotten significantly worse in the last 6 years (post diagnoses and treatment)

Living with HIV since 95 has to have some sort or wear and tear on the ole body! Old age/ aging in place...is gonna happen to us each and everyone ..I do believe having any type Of illness has a direct outcome on ones aging process!
