Long Term Survivor Check In:
Just wanted to get a consensus how long term survivors are doing in general. Health, getting enough support, relations with family and friends, encountering any stigmas. I've lived with HIV half my life, diagnosed with HIV in 1987. I am having issues with all of the above. It is hard finding a place to fit in.
Anyone else experiencing this?
