I've been HIV since I was 15 years old. I'm 53 now. I don't know anything other than life as HIV. I'm not sure how to answer that.
The end of taking meds daily,a lot of times they make me feel sick to my stomach,being able to leave the house without the fear of having an accident because of meds,not having to worry about people gossiping about me,being shunned,just in general being healthier,since being Ill I have lost a lot of my get up and go,so that would be nice to have that back also.
No longer dependant on medications and the fear of being shunned but overall the adaptations to life that was required have been positive ones
A very interesting question. First of all after being rejected because of the virus , I had lowered my standards far as dating certain men. If had never got gov then none of them could have gotten a date with me. Since my strength through my faith I don't think some men are worthy of me because I'm celibate. Again comes back to my faith. Yes I'm brutally honest about myself.
Glad to hear these stories! Im still struggling. Definitely not relying on medications, alot less fear and worrying. Maybe would be in a long term relationship
