I was diagnosed on May 4th 2004. The year I'd be 40. I know who gave it to me although he denied it.
Becoming very sick
My boyfriend wanted to get married. We found out together after me becoming very sick. Then after I sure lived 5 years he left 2 weeks before I had surgery to find out if growths inside where cancer.
I spent 7 years alone lonely at first but then I thrived. I managed to stay single for all that time. I didn't want to tell anyone. It took me 6 mo to leave my house just in case there was an accident.
Coping with HIV and autoimmune diseases
I'm coping now however I've developed 4 autoimmune diseases to add to this party my body's having.
