I was diagnosed in 2012 from a week accident. I got sick quick. Alot of issues and I'm finally feeling healthier and I would like to work again. But because of all my medical issues I can't do what I used to, I've got a huge employment gap. My drs want me on social security but they wonr approve me. I have a 3 year old to raise. I can't afford to go to school. I'm 41 and spent my career as an emt. I don't know what to do to be able to support myself and my child. I thankfully get foodstamps… read more

While I am happy he… read more

This is my first Christmas being newly diagnosed. It’s Been a long 6 months and just want to thank everyone on here for your support. While we all will not agree on certain topics. I really appreciate your opinions.whatever holiday you celebrate I wish everyone a great holiday and look forward to great conversations in the new year. My question is simple does it get easier?
It really does. But that first year was pretty tough for me, everything was about HIV. Lots of doc appointments and my brain was 100% on hiv all the time. Now, 15 years later, it’s a small part of who… read more
Does anyone know of any real dating sights for people with HIV I need to cuddle 😘🤣
Please. Let's not add dating capabilites. It will ruin this very unique and wonderful site. Got enough " age?", top or bottom, size, foreskin status and a whole host of other tacky questions as it is… read more
