  1. "Feeling great, starting 2 weeks of vacation and I’ll use this time to really relax and reflect on my new situation but overall I am doing pretty good "

    1. Hi . Glad you are doing pretty well. That said, while stress does not do body good, the inverse is true with some relaxation time. You mention reflection - if you come up with any questions or issues you would like to pass by others, please feel free to ask the community here. Wishing you the best. Richard (Team Member)

    2. Hi , I'm so glad that hear that you're feeling great and starting two weeks of vacation. That sounds lovely. Based on your comment, it sounds like it's possible that you've been newly diagnosed as HIV positive. I apologize if I've misunderstood, but if it is a recent diagnosis, I just wanted to share this open letter one of our health leaders wrote to the newly diagnosed, https://h-i-v.net/living/treatment-newly-diagnosed as well as this collection of articles for those newly diagnosed, https://h-i-v.net/newly-diagnosed. Again, if I misunderstood, I do apologize, but I wanted to share some information just in case. Are you traveling for your vacation or staying home? Wishing you a gentle day and two weeks of relaxation! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)



    3. Good morning Christine!!
      No you didn’t misunderstand, you are correct, I receive my labs test on March this year, March 19th to be more exact, and on March 23rd I start with my medication, a lot of the things the letter you refer to has been already covered, I have a beautiful human being as my doctor and another excellent doctor as my specialist physician, nurses and office staff has been very supportive and their help and compassion is overwhelming in a good way, the only 2 people I have shared with in my personal life reacted in a way that is giving me the strength and confidence I need to keep it up, I am doing good taking my medication, following the instructions I agree to do with my health care team and more personally I am taking HIV as a second chance life is giving me, once I realized I have contracted the virus my way to see life, the love I have for my family, friends and what I meant to them, the appreciation that my boss and coworkers have been showing for me throughout the years and the way I feel about myself, all of that hit me in the right way and puts me in the right direction
      Christine, thank you for your words,, since I am not working this week I just woke up, and what a beautiful way to start my day then reading your message and to realize that there is a whole world full of people that with out of knowing you still care about you, you just made my day!!
      Once again thank you so much
      Oscar
