What Superpower Has HIV Given You?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Dracut, MA

HIV has bestowed upon me the ability of Time Manipulation. No, I can't turn back the clock in the literal sense but I can appreciate the present in a way I never, ever knew possible. You?

@A myHIVteam Member. The ability to see what is most important at a time when vision was most clouded. Don't allow others to interpret your reality for you. Rely on your own eyes, ears, brain and gut to understand your life. If someone disagrees with your views, give them the opportunity to explain. In no way are you required to change your mind. But nothing wrong with hearing alternative points of view. I am NO BS MAN💥.

PS: My friends call me, "NOB!"

I told someone who lives in my building yesterday (5/1/24) that this is my 40th year of being HIV+. This person acted surprised and amazed. I smiled. That's MY superpower!!! To be out loud and proud of who I am and what I'm living with for such a long time.
