Exactly you are not the disease you have a chronic, manageable, survivable disease that requires careful monitoring and medication so you must own the disease but not let it own you.

Well said! I was given an AIDS diagnosis in 1984. Since there was no successful medical treatment until 12 years later, I just took it one day at a time.
I adopted a healthy lifestyle: no drinking, no smoking, no recreational drugs, moderate weight-lifting at the gym, and above all get plenty of rest. Listen to your body. Worrying won't change a thing, so try to not focus on it. Enjoy every day since you might not get another one.

Being poz since 83, I decided a) not to hyper focus on it, b) to start taking better care of myself after years of partying, including eating better, getting plenty of rest, minimizing stress, getting exercise etc. and c) offer a truce to the virus: I am here and you are here, neither is going anywhere for the time being, but I will not allow you to gain control ie mind over matter.

Best advice. Don’t let the virus beat you and get you down. It doesn’t own you.

Own it. learn all you're capable of understanding about it, then move on. Always pay attention to breaking news but take everything with a grain of salt and treat it as anecdotal. Remember in the US we have a profit-driven Sickcare System. Healthcare is something different entirely. Treatment is far more profitable than cures. It's called practicing medicine which means it's not an absolute. You can't do a damn thing about your diagnosis but you own your prognosis. Don't blame your seroconversion on anyone but you. You assumed whatever risk you took. OWN it Own it all.
