No PhD for me. My partner has a PhD in Vocal Performance & Teaching. My Nurse Practitioner has his PhD in HIV epidemiology. Many of the people I knew from Nursing School went on to get their Nurse Practitioner (basically, a PhD). I wanted to work. I had some catching up to do financially.

By the time I thought about my NP, I didn't see recovering the educational expenses, or ratcheting up my practice in my 60s. Then, again, medication can put a damper on motivation. It can also keep you from working yourself to death before retirement. You have to assess what is truly important to you, focus on that, and don't harm yourself in the process.

You sound good to me @A myHIVteam Member. Spend some time there, and don't take good fortune for granted. Easy to do. If it's working, don't change it up! ❤️

Wow
What a question
I am very thankful this site is here
Not sure I use it correctly
But I would be lost with out it

TreesMy life I'm essentially changef on day of diagnosis. My ex who wasn't supportive used it against me whenever he could. I'm private anyway, I learned to know who i would count on . This site is informative in many ways but tells me that we need more groups together full disclosure and to go forward and empower ourselves to update laws and discrimination
End ignorançe to bring an end to. Being labeled with HIV AIDS or whatever the ones who think we are second class people and that poor things were told yet they became more one sided non lovin non supportive and I feel the waves of let them live best they can attitude and totally empower ourselves to bring more money into our teams bus self involvement and once known that we are hardcore educated and more well rounded informed and open to help all who veillvsee that we can do and help in ending ignorance the non seeing dress and those who if the time comes they should heaven forbid become diagnosed with it that we can accept them for they are human and erred became eratical critics and show we are the survivors and gone thru hello to be who where and have overcome obstacles too hurtful and inflicted so much on those who have died alone no support and yet here we have moved onward so let's try to think of ways to throw off and become one team of tuff never give up people. Noisbi will be honest and say some neBatives crossed my mind and I have never said. This to my self either here goes. Bob you are human an weak there are times you want to lash out and rip or destroy tf because of some button pushing individual, but stop being just like .they have done and
Forgive myself for being weak and being erred take up that weakness
Use it as strength and power to move forward .in dying it. Again BOB i forgive YOU !! We need to forgive ourselves improving ourselves first the peace will come the love and power to open up
The team and powerful force and be forefront of the Future.
I. Will fail before I arrive a victor
But also know i decided the day of diagnosis i will not succumb.
A prayer helps and I forgive you
The ones a long way

I needed to express this
It has been a relief for me to confess thisI have been get

I like to think that my life is getting better because of the sight, being able to connect with people”like me” at any time helps me & educates me on many levels.

I have to say that my life has changed since I found this website. I have gained more knowledge. I've found more of a reason to keep advocating for things to get better with our quality of care and treatment. Also this site has changed my life, because it allows me to be able to share what I've learned with others and it has corrected somethings that I thought was correct. So thanks.
