What's Important To Me Today As A Person Living With HIV/AIDS
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Of the many important things for me, now that HIV treatment has advanced and people are no longer dying left and right like in the 80's, is the social stigma of being POZ or as in my case, living with AIDS C3, and what I can do to help erase social stigma in the world.

As a person living with HIV/AIDS today, what is the #1 most important issue that you care about?

I love your outlook on life. It's great to see others who have HIV/AIDS being happy. I recall having spent many years hating myself to the point I was suicidal. I started sharing my story openly as my way of dealing with depression and my own self loathing.

Today, HIV is part of me, just like having skin and legs and hands. I have HIV, HIV doesn't have me.

I hope you had a woderful day. :)

It is so awesome that you and your husband have such a wonderful relationship and healthy relationship with you being positive and I just come in both of you so much you have my utmost respect and admiration. I'm the other front as with anything that is Progressive there's always more people holding progress back then moving it Forward unfortunately in government.
