Living With HIV / Re: Viral Blip. Mental spiral.« Last post by Tonny2 on Today at 07:50:58 pm »ojo. Hello there!… no need to feel bad for not being here that often, as a matter fact, I tell everybody as soon as they know that they’re treatment is working to go back to their normal lives… well, two blips, they don’t look too bad to me, but, what did your doctor say about it?. Do you know your CD4%?… try to relax because if indeed you treatment is not working, you will have more options of treatment.… Good luck, and please keep us posted and try to relax, fortunately, now a days it’s not the end of the world… Hugs 3

You know, really even with the way HIV messed up my life and health, I don't get down too often. I've even come to grips with having two deceased partners. (You know, you kinda have to. Life keeps fk-ing moving on and eventually you're dragged along with it.) No matter how much I miss them at times, I do have my Larry with me now...and I'm still alive. I'm the luckiest guy on the planet! But every once in a while a date or an event will happen, and I'll think about either Randy or Jim (or often both) and what they have missed out on. Of course, sometimes I imagine the what-could-have-beens too. Sigh. I love what my life is now; but I think I would have also loved it if I could have lived it out with either Randy or Jim. In remembrance of Jim I spent the last two days getting the pool cleaned up and starting to fill back up for another summer. however the sadness has transformed into resignationooo, that's a very astute realization. Yes, numerous times rather than feel despondency, I've felt resignation. I'm going to keep that word in mind. just about 25% left to goI like to think that I'll live as long as my grandmother did (104), so I've just passed 50%. 5
Living With HIV / Viral Blip. Mental spiral.« Last post by Allthefeelings on Today at 06:45:34 pm »I've experienced a viral blip for the second time in four months; it was 32 in April, and now it's 104. I've been extremely diligent with my medication, but I can't help obsessing over my lab results. I'm aiming to switch from Biktarvy to either Dovato or Cabenuva, but it feels like a distant goal. When I was diagnosed in April 2022, my initial viral load was 80,000 and my CD4 count was just 22. Since then, my CD4 count has only slowly climbed above 200, and now with two consecutive blips, I'm feeling hopeless. I regret that I only reach out here when things are tough, but I don't really have anyone else to talk to about this.

Living With HIV / Re: "HOPE DIES LAST"« Last post by Tonny2 on Today at 03:08:58 pm »ojo. Hello everyone!… In 1998 while I was living with aids, 0 cd4, I was still working since my diagnosis in 1994, I thought to myself that I was going to beat aids and decided to get a mortgage to buy a house, in the back of my head, I thought that if I work today, the bank would take the house back. Anyway, I remember back in the day that lots of people who were diagnosed during the 80s and early 90s when getting a Diagnosis of HIV was a debt sentence, they would go and maxed up their credit cards to get their last vacations, etc., etc., I decided to keep working and I think that working my life, anyway, when I going is to let you guys know that today I paid off my mortgage, even though I became legally blind in 2000 fortunately, I still could make my mortgage payment with my pension and Social Security… Never lose. Hope, there is always slight at the end of the tunnel, sometimes it seems very difficult to keep going, but you had to hold onto something to go on with your life because there is life after HIV diagnosis… This is part of living with HIV…hugs Ps. I’m sorry for the typos 8
