Hi @A myHIVteam Member
He was very professsional and just stuck to the main job of treating all his patients. Hope that makes sense

No that would be a first for me. But side note. At the same time I got diagnosed I was in a premed biology program in college so I was on my way. My mom's doctor told me medical school wasn't a good thing for someone with HIV to go through because of the stress and lack of sleep required. This was in 1997 before the one pill once a day when meds took a toll on your body. I would've liked to have continued but I was smoking too much weed and unrelated to my weed smoking, I got kicked out of the program because I refused to live on campus which was a requirement. I guess the weed is related because it made me think I was all that being able to smoke weed and do high level coursework. But I was quickly humbled by all of that plus I went through a nervous breakdown most likely caused by the high amounts of weed I was smoking.
