Tiffany's Story: 68

By taq1

1 min read

I have been living with HIV for 26 years. I was 26 years with a 9-month-old baby.

I have seen medication evolve. I went from 21 pills to 2 pills.

I wouldn't trade my journey. Just a Grateful heart.

Interested in sharing your own diagnosis story, treatment experience, or another aspect of living with HIV?

Hi Tiffany! Thank you for taking the time to share a bit of your journey with us. I absolutely love that you have a grateful heart no matter what you've been through. That is such an inspiring and welcomed attitude in our community. Isn't it amazing how far we've come in HIV treatment that dozens of pills with limited success are now replaced with highly successful single-pill options? Amazing! Let's keep this positive energy going for the rest of 2020! Sending wishes for a nice holiday season and New Year ahead for you and your family! -Casey (Team Member)
