I think they are making too much money off the prevention to find a cure. But then, the older I get the more cynical I become...

@A myHIVteam Member. I agree with everything you said. Just wanted to add...
When the damage stops, the repairs begin. We are alive, and self repairing. ❤️

I heard that in our modern age as far as medical & technological advances are going , that in our decade, the USA is going to achieve what would normally take 50 years, only 10. That said though, when I asked my pcp he said we should have a cure but probably not for those already with the virus. I still havent asked my specialist Brad so thanks for the reminder to do so

@A myHIVteam Member - I met my partner when he was 70yrs old (I was 42). Our entire 18 year relationship has taken place for him after the age you are now. If you think he is especially robust, I have seen him through 3 joint replacements, and more melanoma surgeries than I can remember. Still, it has been the best time of my life. Life isn't over at 70, it's not over at 88. Today is his birthday 🥳 🎂🎉
