How Long Can You Live

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

I know they say todays modern drugs you can live a long life.but how long and is it a healthy long life or HIV plays games with other parts of your body . Can you live 30 years relatively healthy or is it unrealistic to think that. Inflammation comes to mind and HIV is notorious for inflammation. I read somewhere that a 22 year old who gets HIV will have lots of other health issues when they get to my age which is 58. And that is with them taking 35+ years of pills

I'm not sure the final decision is up to me...look I'm relatively healthy ...I eat well (not a lot of junk food...ok I love my sweets...lol)...I take a shit load of vitamins.
I'm pretty active walking a lot and I do some light excersise... I frequent a local bar The Black Eagle one a week to go dancing...I love my dancing...
But if I'm out and about and get hit by a car...well no matter what shape or health I am...when it's time to go you go...you're worm food...lol lol
