January 26, 2013
That's the date I was diagnosed as HIV positive.
I knew before that day that what I was experiencing was seroconversion symptoms for HIV. I have read about the symptoms and even talked to someone who related the same symptoms of his conversion to HIV positive status to me a little over a year ago.
It is good to know, and now, I can focus on keeping myself healthy and moving on.
My doctor recommended a specialist in HIV care and I immediately contacted her and made an appointment.
My HIV specialist is a wonderful doctor and made me feel so at ease.
I found her to be very meticulous and wanted me to succeed in keeping myself healthy.
I went through a battery of blood tests and she finally got all the info she needed.
Fortunately, my HIV is not resistant to abacavir, so she was able to prescribe a once-a-day pill for me.
So far, so good. I have not had any adverse effects from the medication and I can easily comply with the once a day dosage.
I decided to also reach out to guys like me on a hook up site I used on my yearly trips to the Philippines.
I just wanted to know that there are people like me and going through the same situation so I won't feel so all alone.
I have received dozens of messages. Most, if not all, are very supportive.
I also found guys who have blogs here and I am able to follow their lives and their experiences.
I do appreciate all the advice I received so far. It is good to know that I am in very good company.
It makes me hopeful that I don't have to go through this experience by myself. Even though they are hundreds of miles away, in my heart, they are only a few keystrokes away.
