How do you consider yourself. I just say "I have HIV"
I consider myself as a healthy human being and I live my life as such. If I need to disclose my status I say I am positive. But have never been in a situation where my status needed to be disclosed except for medical reasons
Well considering under medical terms, I was actually diagnosed with AIDS and not HIV, the doctor said that my medical records will always show me as a person living with AIDS. So I tell people just that, I am living with AIDS.
The shift in terminology from "HIV-infected" to "living with HIV" or "person with HIV" reflects a more person-centered and respectful approach. It emphasizes humanity over the condition, reducing stigma. Saying "I have HIV" is simple and direct, and if it feels right for you, that's what matters most. Everyone's comfort Show Full Answer
I don't worry about this anymore I was diagnosed with AIDS in 96 by the DOH vital statistics it never goes away
And my # will always be 243 right now I'm undetectable it's all I care about
@A myHIVteam Member AIDS was my initial dx based on my CD4 count. I see my ID Dr next month, I'm going to ask her about that.
