Anyone who's ever been through "that day" remembers exactly where they were and how they felt. Mine was in December 2014. I was in denial at first. After all, I was nearly 70 and had never engaged in any risky behavior. But there it was. I had to deal with it. And I did. I take my meds and I've stayed healthy. Life is as good as it gets.
Mine was in 2001, on my deathbed, didn't know what was wrong. I could barely stand up, I thought I just had a bad case of pneumonia. Went to the ER they checked me and yes pneumonia. Went on meds for 2 days was feeling better. Got really bad on the 3rd day and went back to the ER. I was admitted. Doctors ran numerous tests on me and couldn't figure it out. Until the last test. The Dr. came in and gave me the news. I called my mom and cried.Then cd4 13Today 556. Pneumo-cystis pneumonia no joke

Hi your writing brought back memories of my diagnosis 30 years ago i remember the time and date still today back then there was no meds apart from dreaded azt i was given 10 years so i enjoyed life but i have always been positive in thought and no quitter and intended to be around long after that 10 year s and here i am now 30 years on and my hiv consultant as now retired im in good health and on meds so i hope my story gives you positive thoughts and iwish you a long and healthy life chris
I was simply given envelopes and, while sitting in my car outside the lab looking at them, it all came together. Wham! I felt I got hit in the face with a four by four. Frankly I was not surprised but it was the "what do I do next" that floored me at the beginning. That was back in 2006. Changed my life for the better. Healthy and grateful for every day. I was after all a gift.

Hey friend, I do remember that Day, but I forgot the exact date, all I know is it was an Ash Wednesday. I had been getting sick too often with constant flu and I was suspicious it was that, but I wanted to deny it. I was afraid to ask for that test and to find out I was positive, but I did it. That day the news came and I was shocked and a tear came down my right eye. But fact is I even forgot I have the virus, I try to live normal but careful. With the new medications you can live life normal.
