The aging population of those with HIV in the USA


Recommended Posts

WE weren't supposed to be here. We were supposed to accept our fates as F**s, and just go quietly into the light, like the Christian right wanted us to do. To die and be silent like lambs, BUT WE'RE STILL HERE, KARENS AND KENS!!  - In 2007, I was 12 cd4 counts from officially having AIDS when I started taking anti-retroviral meds. I came as close to being really sick without ever being really sick. No secondary infections, just the feeling of being ever more tired. Now, I am pre-diabetic, but with normal sugar levels, with a higher cholesterol than I should. When I think of Giba, and Chad and the many who we lost, I am thankful and grateful.
