Yes, I am in this for most of my 62 years, being diagnosed in 1985. It is a lifelong journey.
Learn everything you can about HIV. Today it is highly manageable with medication, therapies, lifestyle changes, and precautionary measures that become normal daily routines, second nature.
NEVER Allow HIV to define you or place limitations on your abilities. You have it in you to succeed at anything you do.

as long as ur following treatment as directed you will be fine. i live everyday like every other i work 6 days 40+ hours a week (serving so i deal with the public). i have all my vax caught up and have not gotten sick. though my cd4 count was in the mid 400's when i found out so. this is how i feel but everyone is different

@leo5 My dr. says "getting out will do you some good" Get it in now before the weather changes. I didn't find that anything on the outside bothered me more than usual other than cat scratches. (I have cats)
