Thought I might update you guys re my progress and send a timely reminder.

There is probably not one day i don't think about what I have got. Despite being diagnosed early and on treatment its more the mental anguish that fucks with your head. 

I have learned that yes you probably will live as long as the average person BUT you will be less healthy, meaning having HIV will increase your odds of getting cancer, liver problems, etc at an earlier age and I mean by 15 years or so. 

Basically I see a Infectious disease doc maybe 4 times a year and take a daily tablet which is a combo of about 3 drugs. Blood tests are done just before every doc visit. Touch wood no major side effects have popped up yet of the drugs. 
Luckily in my country the govt subsidies the medication but in other countries I believe it is quite expensive.  

I am sure you go through times of minor depression associated with having HIV. There are times when you are really bitter because you know someone who was positive gave it to you - maybe they knew, maybe they didn't. 

What I found amazing was that I wasn't a mad fucker of everything that had a dick - I didn't have all night orgies with lots of Lbs and let them top me and cum inside of me - but yes I didn't use condoms. 

 

So my advice is make sure you think very careful about what you do and how you do it. I used to think condoms wrecked the session and thought if I be careful then the odds were in my favor. I was wrong. 

When you get diagnosed with HIV, despite what the docs tell you, its like you are on a path to an early death and just like a diagnosis of another terminal disease everyday that fucks with your head.

Hope this encourages people to at least stop and think.

Regards

My girlfriend and I have bareback sex but only after we have both been tested and the results are negative.
