I'm not sure I understand what PReP does that it prevents a person from contracting HIV and what HIV medications do to lower our viral load to "undetectable". I know undetectable means you still have virus in your system, but the virus amount is so little it cannot be detected by standard testing.

My doctor told me he thought within 5 years there would be a cure. That was my first doctor five years ago. They are already in human trials for a vaccine. Dont lose hope this will be cured . I believe it will be. Hang in there

I was on PreP for 5 years and took it religiously, never missed a pill. Finding out about my diagnosis a few days ago felt like the dumbest joke anyone’s ever told me.

Thanks Dray for the encouragement. I'm trying.
