He vivido con VIH durante 31 años, casi la mitad de mi vida. Como superviviente a largo plazo, uno ha visto lo peor de la enfermedad desde el principio. Parecía que estaba enfermo, lo cual era en los años 90 y la gente lo aceptaba porque el SIDA era muy frecuente. Tuve la suerte de participar en una prueba de Crixivan en 1996 que me salvó la vida. A partir de entonces me volví más fuerte a medida que surgieron más medicamentos y conocí más sobre la enfermedad. Cumplí con mi horario de… leer más
I have lived with HIV for 31 years, almost half my life. As a long term survivor one has seen the worse of the disease from the very beginning. I looked like I was sick which I was in the 90's and people accepted it because AIDS was so prevalent. I was lucky to get on a trial for Crixivan in 1996 which saved my life.

I've had issues like that as well my grandmother said I thought you were dead since that day I have not spoken to her and now she is passed away I hate that that happens live in HIV since 1989 and I survived thank God for medications that came out in 1996 however I have issues such as nausea and body pain still to this day I get through it I go to work everyday and I feel like I look pretty good God be with you all that are positive in Christ amen
I have been positive since 1986 and have had my ups and downs with HIV, as you have. I do get that "you don't look sick" occasionally. Most people are aware this day in age of the accomplishments that have been made for us. I am happy to hear you are well.
@Un miembro de myHIVteam, i think your one foxy Lady and you look great, HIV and Cancer you've held up very nice
Third, I just got reevaluated by PRUDENTIAL. I became disabled in 2012. My weight fluctuates more than 10% regularly. That was determined to be wasting syndrome while I lived in Texas and that alone met the burden to be 100% disabled. There is so much more than weight in my opinion. Like you there are days when I wake up and going pee is just a real chore and takes a lot of my energy. I understand your situation. I hope things do improve for you.
Sometimes with my meds feel my life has been drained away. Life is sometimes not enjoyable, I sould be happy be alive.
