ojo. Hello there!!… I’m glad that you medication is working and that you are feeling well healthwise. Yes, HIV is scar that we had to learn to live with because it’s going to be there for a while. So, the only thing that I can tell you is to get used to it, try to keep yourself busy and if you think that it is too much for you to handle this scar, sick professional help. I can assure you that there is life after an HIV diagnosis, right now you are dealing with other issues besides your diagnosis and I think , that you have to take care of ish issue at a time, your wife, your daughter, no more family together, the shitting, it will take time to get used to a new normal for you. You are not alone, we are here for you and like I said, if you cannot handle, the mental issues sick professional help… Wishing you the best… Hugs
PS. after 29 years of living with HIV/aids, I and all of us, know what you are going through so just hang in there.

So another update. She's moved out… She needs my help and I have been there for and my daughter. We live as a family but at night we go to different homes. Been furnichar shopping, setting up tvs and ikea stuff, cooking tea for each other, making her lunch for work. Lifts to and from places. Picking up and dropping off to and from work. Even on my days off. We still do most things together. Video calls and texting all day and night. Just don't live together. My friends at work who don't know the truth apart from I cheated say I'm setting myself up for an epic fall. She's gone to see her family and taken my daughter. We speak all day for hours as if we are with each other.. I've been keeping myself busy when on my own at the family home but I find myself scatty. When I start in one room and if I find an item that belongs in another I walk it to the other room and stay there and forget I was sorting the room I came from. I think things will change once she's settled. I texted her at the airport to have a good time with her family and that I loved them both. The reply was. No matter what, I will always love you. Is she saying once she gets back it will change? My Head is a mess and I don't know how to read the situation. I know she is scared of my blood as she said she can still get it via blood and i didnt know the answer. She understands u=u but…..
Questions Does u=u include blood transfer? And Since i've started taking meds my testosterone levels are super high and I have a few spots under my pecs. I know high testosterone causes spots but Is this normal?

this is a prevention question, so ideally, not for this thread. https://forums.poz.com/index.php?board=28.0
But, yes, you can still pass on HIV if you are sharing syringes, or organ & blood donations. However, I doubt that is what you mean? Do you mean day-to-day & casual contact? So scrapes, cuts, toothbrushes etc, it's not an HIV risk and U=U is irrelevant.

I suspect they are right but it's your life.

Okay, it's not an HIV risk.

What's super high, what did you doctor say and have you been taking anything like steroids? Do you know what the levels were 6 months, 12 months, 18 months ago?
