If You Could Create A TED Talk About Your Experience With HIV, What Would It Be About?
I am yet to figure this question out yet but it would be something on the theme of “Ive learned that living with HIV is not just a diagnosis; its also an inner journey” How about you?
@A myHIVteam Member. Was there someone you would have listened to before you became infected that could have changed the picture for you? I knew about HIV/AIDS. I was in healthcare, and I read every scrap of information available on HIV/AIDS. I didn't internalize it until I myself became infected. It wasn't real to me before that. It got REAL in a hurry!❤️
Paul I agree sometimes we are just human beings who think this can’t happen to me. However I never went out of my way looking for it either like some people do 🙄
Wow, that's a great question! If I were to do a TED talk about my experience, it would be about my continued mental and emotional roller coaster ride, disclosure, and finding true support systems. A lot of negative people don't understand not only the physical aspect of HIV but the mental and emotional parts. I feel that if people knew my story, they would understand and be more likely to protect themselves..
Pepe3 thanks you make me laugh. One thing HIV will never take away from me is my sense of humor. ☺️😜😂
It’s definitely an inner journey. I kept gambling which is in my DNA I’m always taking risks. I can’t believe that I thought I was above getting infected. Can’t believe it took 25 years of being an idiot and playing around to get to this point. I assumed HIV was hard to get now cause everyone was on meds or practicing safe sex. The fool I became. It’s only been 14 months since I got infected but a day does not go by where I’m not being reminded of what is now done. I respect those who have been living with this for 15,20 or longer years.dont know how you do it. I guess my only saving grace I got HIV at 58 so my once a day pill days are going to be shorter. 20 years I will be 78 that’s past average life expectancy. I still hope that science makes it easier for me and others . I will be the first in line to take a once every six month injection to combat HIV. They say it’s around the corner but that corner could be long.in the end I need to stop dwelling on the what ifs and dwell on living a semi normal life . Somedays thats easier said then done
