Just support for all you that are living with HIV

[KathleenC28]

Hi, I've always looked for support since I dont have any from my family or have absolutley no friends its just my husband, my daughter and the other little one on the way (which quite frankly its all i need they are my all). Well a little bit about myself, I am 23 years old and have congenital HIV I have lived with this condition tgrough out my whole life since my mother passed it to me and my baby brother. Unfortunetly they werent so lucky they passed when I was five both had AIDS but i just had HIV. I just want to let you know that even though its not easy to live with this it is totally possible and you can actually be happy. I was raised by my grandmother and she raised not wanting to give me treatment and making me believing i wasnt going to find love or have any kids which is what i dreamed of. Let me tell you that was not true on 2008 i met my husband and he accepted me with my condition, 2011 we got married 2012 we had our first child (HEALTHY NATURAL BIRTH) and as of 2014 I am undetectable and my family is all negative and we are expecting baby number two. So for you that is scared , dont be it will be alright take your medications be happy and trust GOD. Believe me when I say it is possible to actually live with this condition and be healthy :)

Thank you for posting this. My mother was diagnosed with HIV a few years ago and it is a daily struggle, especially for her. But we manage to get by. I can't wait to show her this. I always tell her that her life is not over because of it and that she can live a happy productive life!!

Its great to meet you as well. The most dificult times where i was denied treatment from my caregiver and having family tell everyone about my condition and being bullied at such a young age. But that made so much stonger. Thank you for reading my post I always try everything and anything I can to make others happy and stay possitive towards life :)
