It has been 10 years since I’ve been diagnosed with HIV. I’ve changed HIV medications twice and my
body seems to like the latest one far better than the other two regimens I was
on. I seem to have been dealing with
things that have come along with being infected with HIV rather well. Physically I didn’t expect to get Rosacea but
I’m keeping it under control by trying to avoiding things that I really like to
eat and drink. I did break out into
hives on my arms one time and it was intolerable to the point where I was
screaming in pain but that went away when I took an inflammatory.
Since having HIV is have earned an Associate’s in
Communications, a Bachelor’s in Political Science, a Master’s in Public Health
and now I’m in school to get my Doctorate in Public Health. During those 10 years I’ve gotten married and
have two sons by adoption, Lundyn and Tavis.
All in all, I’m happy and I’m doing well. 10 years down and as many years as it takes
to find a cure to go.
