Yes I agree and it is very disheartening that I will have to take a pill for the rest of my life but I am alive now and this disease is effectively kept at bay. We can choose to live our lives to the fullest and keep looking to the future. The only thing that makes me worry is a disruption in the supply of medication. It happened to me once so I started stock piling an old medication shortly after but I don't anymore but still refill as soon as I can to keep a buffer on hand.

That is very disheartening. I’ve never gotten my hopes up on this issue. I’m going on 25 years and never thought I’d live this long. I am grateful and I hope for many more years.

HIV was a death sentence and isn’t anymore. I’m thankful to be stable and undetectable. I love that I found this platform to talk to others that are positive.

Compare to 49 years ago science has come a long way. Live for today because tomorrow may never come. The medications today are doing wonders. My viral low is under a 2. My C4 count is close to normal. One day there will be a cure. Till then live for the present and soar high above the skies

Good morning Brad and thank you for your questions. As far as HIV goes it's been around so long and in my lifetime that I really accepted the outcome. The way I see it is in this lifetime we can die from so many other things so I'm not that concerned about HIV anymore. It's been in my life for over half of it so as long as I keep doing what I'm doing I will live till I'm 80,.....85 and that's okay ❤️🌈👌👍
