FINALLY!!!
« on: August 24, 2020, 11:10:15 am »
For the first time since I was diagnosed in April 2017, my CD4 is over 200!   ;D

247, 15.8%

I just wanted to share my happy news. I've taken a very long road to get here. But I feel great!  ;D

 The most important thing is to always fight and never give up!

       ojo.      Felicidades!!!, I’m  Very Happy for you... After all you have been through, you may feel pretty good about your numbers... I was diagnosed with aids, only 20 CD4, in November 1994, I didn’t get to beundetectable until march 2007. So I know how you are feeling. Congratulations you deserve it, you are a fighter and an example for all of us who sometimes complain for little things...I’m proud of you...hugs.       ojo

Ps. It makes me so happy to know that you have defeated the type of cancer you had, my friend TONNY, a  “vivir con vih” member, wasn’t that lucky, his tumor was behind his right eye...R.I.P.
