Close HIV
I got diagnosed with HIV on my 25 birthday. Its been a long difficult road but I remain positive in mind even though I have not been in great health at times. Im on Atripla and started this in May 09. I read lots of infomation on my illness and keep myself well informed. I work full time and find this keeps my mind and body busy, I think taking care of myself and making some life changes has made a great difference to me too.
