Just looking for interaction
« on: September 19, 2019, 03:26:59 am »
Hello all it has took me a long time to finally figure out what I wanted to post on here.
So I tested positive back in 2018 of November with a VL of 81,100 which went down drastically by 3 months I was undetectable. Since finding out I was positive I went through a dark time in my life but as the days go on they’re getting better. Reading some of the other posts really uplifts my sprits because in such a dark situation there are good days. And since I’ve been positive I’m always reading up on the subject and I’m always down for a conversation about what’s going on with hiv.

Hiya,

Welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about the diagnosis.

Glad to hear things are getting better and, I presume you're taking treatment and hence undetectable?

Best, Jim

I am glad you are better now. It does give comfort when reading to the posts here,it makes you feel that you are not alone in this fight,and you shouldn't be.
All will be well,time does heal and I am proud of you that you overcame the fear of the diagnosis and the virus. :)

Hello Fabio
Yes it’s a day by day process of living with this but I must say now I’m having more good days than bad. Yes and coming to this website and reading the other post makes me feel like I’m not the only one going through these things . I’m just living day by day accepting and getting  comfortable with my diagnosis and trying not to make any more mistakes on the way .
