Long Term Survivor Check In:
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

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?

Major support from family health not so good but due to family history of vascular disease

How Long Did You Wait To Tell Your Family And Friends About Your Diagnosis?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I've been wondering how and when to tell my older brother that I'm HIV+. If things go south, he's gonna be the one that I lean on, that I ask for help. I know for a fact that I'm not going to tell him until after Christmas is over. And honestly, between him and my younger sister, my older brother is least likely to tell this to anyone else.

So, how long after your diagnosis did you wait before you told your family (brothers, sisters, mom, dad) and friends? What was their reactions like?
