Hi All,

Just checking in... it's been a while since I've posted anything and I'm sure you're all anxious to hear my progress :)

On the 6-month plan now... all good... CD4 has pretty much plateaued at around 600 give or take after starting out at 375.  But the % has climbed with each checkup, now up to 28% which I'm happy about.  VL UD... stribild, you rock.  Everything else is fine, although the cholesterol remains a concern, which I'm choosing to ignore for now.

Married my partner on our 16th anniversary. 

Everything else is fine.  Our daughter is getting straight A's at Colorado State Univ.  I feel good, mentally and physically.  Snow is great.  HIV can kiss my ass.

Cheers to everyone.  Happy Holidays. 

See ya in 6 months :)
