For those with HIV and in the LGBT community... have the current HIV policies in your State or Country...cause you anxiety and concern about your future? What are your concerns about the healthcare system in relation to your health insurance and medications?

Primero, respetar la medicación a partir de ahora, tomarla siempre a la misma hora que ayer, segundo, tener un buen equipo médico, tercero, mantenerse siempre ocupado.

Yes Yes Yes¡!!!!!!!
Just wanted to get a consensus how long term survivors are doing in general. Health, getting enough support, relations with family and friends, encountering any stigmas. I've lived with HIV half my life, diagnosed with HIV in 1987. I am having issues with all of the above. It is hard finding a place to fit in.
