Why Did You Join My HIV Team

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Cincinnati, OH

I joined this site to meet like minded individuals living with HIV not to debate or push my beliefs on one another! I have good days and bad days!

I was feeling like a newly diagnosed patient isolated and alone. My family is not supporting about the HIV or the gay issue.

Wonderful question everyone have a fantastic weekend 😀.

I joined to find people I can relate to. Learn from their experiences regarding hiv, aids, meds and dealing with stigma and deciding whether or not to tell my friends and family.

Great question. Sometimes it gets heated in here. But as human beings we express are opinions. As long as we are not combative or rude I value people on my team to give me there thoughts on my posts . I take some opinions with a grain of salt and others I love there thoughts on what they say. I’m an open book you can ask me anything and I will express my feelings. But will never degrade anyone. For we are all in this together through good times and bad times 😊

And given our community here is dependent upon them the discussions of politics is relevant; albeit unpleasant.
