Hey Cocksucker.
Poz 16 years here (yeah one those foolish and old enough to know the risks and lived thru other peoples horror stories). But once a slut, always slut might hold true.
Went straight on meds. One pill in one combination I didn't like (too big to think I could swallow - though I now swallow 3 meds and 2 vitamins in one gulp - go figure). One pill in another combination was the only one with side effects - weird dreams. I probably could have lived with that but my doctor said heaps more combinations we can change it
In 16 years I have had one change of meds due to becoming resistant to one pill. Again no biggie, heaps more combos. Many combinations now come as just one pill (daily).
Three visits a year to HIV specialist is an excuse for trip from my rural area to city (and lot of play time whilst there).
I never visit any other doctors. Have no health issues. Never been healthier in my life. One rule - don't stress over anything helps.
Plenty of HIV guys my area. We play. Plenty neg guys I disclosed my undetectable status to happily play with me too. As much sex as ever. And I never went short. And now the wrong side of 50. HIV doesn't stop sex. Occasionally take a blue pill when I top, hardly notice a difference. Often its mind over matter. Think things will be OK and something works out. Think your dick aint going to work and it might not.
I work permanent. Had three weeks sick when first diagnosed. 16 year later accumulated enough sick leave I could be sick for many months and get paid. Again a rule, no stress allowed at work. I do a job I know and don't let anything worry me.
My life isn't bad. I travel heaps. Have more than my share of sex (all raw, ' go on recharge mee, breed me, add your DNA to my body')
I know it isn't all roses for everyone but I am one guy with no issues that I took poz loads and one load took to me.
