sunnygirl hows it goin?
sunnygirl i read your posts with fascination. you are remarkable, not only going through all this with strength but also helping others out with suggestions and responses. i hope everything is going ok with you and your son. take care dearie.
you are very sweet to say such nice things...i'm not sure how to respond, other than to say "life only moves in one direction"...and that is forward. i can't say that everyday is easy, nor is everyday worry free...but, i'm really trying to be as positive as i can be (no pun intended). hiv has come such a long way since the 80's and i know i can survive...it may not be the way i'd choose, but i will be here.
i have found some wonderful friends through the forums and other positive sights and have already developed friendships with others going through similar circumstances...and that has been the most helpful thing for me. they have given me incredible amounts of encouragement...
somedays when i'm scared and don't want to do this and i want to just live as i've always lived, without making changes i wouldn't have made if i hadn't become infected - i remind myself that i'm still me. afterall, i really am still me.

you do have so much wisdom, i am sure it will work fine for you. yes some of the forums have really nice people, thats what brings me to them all the time. above all, as you say, you are you, whether or not a virus is with you doesnt change that. if you ever need a friend, you can find me on aidsmeds under the name jambo.
you take good care of yourself and keep us updated too. even though we are in a virtual space, there is emotional support and care around if needed.
lots of love, james
