Hello Cowboy.

So how are you doing and feeling after 25 years of living with HIV? You have me beat by a few months.

Got to presume you are currently on treatment?

25 years ago, well, that brings back memories, it still was the wait until your CD4 counts were depleted phase of this before starting treatment, or did you start treatment "early" at the time? Things have changed a lot compared with today.

Hey there and welcome! Wow after 25 years I bet you could write the book on HIV and successfully managing it! Glad you’re around as I know personally seeing great examples of long term success are beneficial to our members both new and old alike!
