I am grateful for my team here. In my 14 months poz I've found a community of fellow travelers. None of us is alone with this.

I submit we should be grateful for HIV. Yeah for PWLH a good many of us have been horribly impacted. But humanity has had a reason to get into how immune systems function and as a result there are a plethora of treatments for previously intractable illnesses. The lemonade to the lemon that is HIV.

I am grateful I am alive, learning more over time of the history of us humans, and in recent weeks the history of my town, county and state. The ability to learn and understand is awesome.

Peace everyone; and wishes for our best health today.

I am very grateful for this group, I have learned many things from you. I also feel we have a wonderful connection to one another. After 23 years of having HIV, I now feel like I have others to share daily moment with . Help if I do need it and support from an awesome group of people. Gabriel is awesome at what he does here, and that's not to say each and everyone of you aren't. I'm grateful for finding the group and that you are all here.

I want to thank all of you for taking the time out to join us here, whether on a daily monthly or annual basis ...whatever time you may have to give us. Thank you all for your time consideration and attention to each one of us. ♥️🙏

I would have to say Protease Inhibitors when they came out. I got into the trial but my friend couldn't and had crypto and was about to die so I shared my meds with him and he survived long enough to be able to get the medicine himself. It was a scary time.

My HIV treatment being 4 times daily,with numerous side effects,is an extremely challenging balancing act, especially when there are a multitude of other issues in daily life to deal with as well. I often get to the point of wondering of whether is was really worth starting the HIV treatment journey of 29 years so far. Im now at the point where all possible alternative treatments have been exhausted due to either intolorance of the drugs,or drug resistance. This means I have to remain on this gruelling 4 times daily treatment for the rest of my life. However I did have a choice. I could have chosen death, and not embarked on the treatment, but I chose life instead. Now at 29 years on treatment, I am greatfull for having the opportunity to be close to the Lords Creation itself. For example my Pets and Animals and Birds that I care for, are all part of the good Lords creation and looking after them is a privilidge, and probably the only thing thats makes life worth it nowadays. Of course I am gratefull to My HIV Team and its an honour to listen to how people in the Team are coping with their own difficult issues. I pay tribute to LuisGabriel who has overcome many health issues and is still dealing with them.. And Ron and Beans who have risen to the challenge of overcoming problems with their own very very diffcult issues. And I pay tribute to all Team who struggle to deal with their own unique challenges in life.
