So, ummm is he single???? What a sweetheart!
Well I am 45 and I was told back when I was 20. I have to say my family and I do not talk. Not sure weather it is the gay or the POZ thing. Well their loss. I am proud to be me and it is great that so many of us are starting to get out and run with the rest of the world instaed of just staying home alone
I found out when i was 27 and now i am 48. I experienced the same fears but now (after a little therapy) I have learned to accept it and move on with my life. Like Dennis I am more concerned now about dying from a stroke or heart attack rather than HIV.
i also felt the same way. i was about 25yr when i found out i was hiv+. now i'm 47 and loving life but i'm afraid of what to come. well i be able to afford my meds as a senior citizens.
I'm the same age - same race and same experiences! I never thought about it quite like you put it but thanks. Their is NOTHING Wrong with me. The world needs to recognize! Thanks for sharing.
I too seroconverted at 23 in 1980 (perhaps 1979). Hence I have actually lived longer with the virus than without. Now with all that I've managed to survive and deal with it seems a bit ironic that increasing my concerns are that I'm more likely to die of a stroke, heart attack, or some such old-fogey-sorta-thing. Who'da thunk?!
hey there i dont know your name, but i just loved how did you tell us what happened with you and the most important, what is happening with you today after all these years feeling that stigma around you that's cool and you are cool...!
