Hiya Soul,

Don't ya just love this place!!! It has become a support line for me because before here, there was no one I could talk to that could relate. Since I have joined, I have made friends and come to value the posts I read. Things do get better in time. Just take it one day at a time and don't stress about things that may be out of your control.

Hello,

I just wanted to say it does get better.  I have been HIV Positve for almost 4 months now.  Keeping a positive attitude and taking it one day at a time will help you to cope better.  Life does not stop nor does it evolve around HIV Positive people.  Life just keeps on moving and we move right along with it. Stay encouraged because better days are ahead.
