I've been + for 36.5 years. I'm in better health than my buddies without hiv due to the close monitoring of my Healthcare. The neuropathy, joint pains, lack of elasticity is a result of the disease, hiv medication interactions. Depression from hiv can be a constant struggle.

Thank you David for that question. For me personally, a life without HIV is not a life I am familiar with. Whether it was friends, sisters, brothers, family members or lovers HIV has always been a part of my life. I know of no other life without it. So I will live with it.😍
