I'm a newly diagnosed HIV Pos 2023, and I've taken care of plenty of people that have it since starting nursing in the late 90's. I've seen great changes in therapy and I'm greatful to those who came before us.
I now volunteer for my CAN Community Health and promote HIV education.

Please guys, dont fight each other on this platform. .Brad3 is only asking a Question. We are on the brink of World War Three, so please be kind to each other.

That's me. I take my pill and move on. Thank God. I remember when people used to take handfuls of pills and still looked like they had AIDS. It's not being complacent. It more like, thanks to the one pill a day, we have other things to do. Thankfully, I only think about HIV when I come on here and when I take my meds in the morning.

I don’t like to say but I feel rather patronised by your comments. These groups fought to get equal rights and recognition for PLWHA, and to further research into finding a cure.
To say that we are taking one pill a day and living a normal life is what they advocated for, as far as they could. This does not mean that we have forgotten those before us, that’s a bit offensive. I lost many friends to the virus and knew of many others, I have marched and fought for rights. I never forget this, I can’t.
We have healthcare, we have rights, we are known. Do we have a cure? I’m not going to speculate on that, but I did work in a Clinical Research Facility and know the amount of research that is going in the field. It is vast.
I am not HIV, HIV is not me. It is not my life, it’s a condition that I have. I have multiple comorbidities, I take numerous medications, I get on with it. I don’t dwell on it and let it take me over.
Remember that not everyone is the same, and not everyone is living equally, or equally as well. It is never good to generalise in these matters, let these people you refer to live their lives, you never know if that’s the only way they can deal with it.
