      How old is your sister? Just know that HIV is not a death sentence any more. People are living full lives for 20 plus years now. I have AIDS and my dr tells me I will be around for 15 to 25 years, and I know he is right. Know this, if you let this get you down, you can't help her stay up. be and encourager for her. You both, and you family are in my prayers.

      Welcome kttrusty! I'm a newbie as well - just dealing with typical step-family stuff - can't imagine what you are going through with your sister! I will say a prayer for you!
