Hiv
Hello my name is Rita Eddington and I was diagnosed with AIDS in 2019 on my deathbed not knowing that I had it it is 2025 now and I haven't taken my medication and a while I'm still in denial of having it I'm trying to cope with it I don't know how to cope with it I don't have nobody to turn to to talk to you about about it I'm trying to reach out to this community to see what kind of help I can get in terms of taking my medication again is very hard living with this and still trying to cope with it and understand it
Hi Rita (
). Please know that there are people here who understand how you are feeling. Learning to cope with an HIV diagnosis is not easy and it took great courage for you to reach out. The stigma of HIV is real (see: https://h-i-v.net/stigma), but as noted in the article things are improving. Treatments can control the HIV, even make it undetectable. Is it possible for you find a medical professional you trust? Hopefully others here will chime in with their thoughts and experiences. This community is here for you. Best, Richard (Team Member)
