Yup three days on hrt all is good still adapting to the other pill that's what the doctor told me to after a while I'll become undetectable because I have such a small amount but other than that I'm fine still grasping the whole idea of that being an addition thank you so much for all your support and feedback I appreciate it very much

I think we go through phases in life. Throughout my adult life I've been pretty outgoing and active, up until recently. I used to travel at least every other month. Lately I've lost the travel bug and prefer to stay closer to home. I used to thrive on adventure and adrenaline rushes. I no longer need all that. These days I prefer to stay home with my domestic partner and spend time with family and friends and the farm animals. I still have a social life but it is narrowing. I wonder if that will change or if this is the new normal for me. Your post made me think about how I would react if I lost my partner. It seems to me as long as you're not isolated and chronically sad and lonely that you're doing fine. It's definitely good that you have family and friends. Who knows, maybe a social opportunity will present itself at some point in the future. You just never know. Wishing you all the best.

Dear Jessica, HIV is no minor problem, but today it is considered a chronic illness. Please take your medication in a timely fashion, as skipping doses could set you up for developing a tolerance for the medication. Also, please visit your nearest T/LGB Center, where they have excellent free magazines on the subject, such as "POZ." Have several friends who have had HIV for DECADES. It is possible to become "undetectable," where they can't find the virus in your blood. My heart and prayers are with you. Your friend, Monica

I’m so sorry to hear this, Jessica. It’s no consolation of course but I suppose your HIV infection was identified because of your HRT tests. I hope that early detection helps keep it at bay for you. I’m sending you my very best wishes and prayers.

Dear Emma, Not surprised Dr. Marci Bowers has a four year waiting list . . . she's one of the best! Your friend, Monica
