Auf der sehr langen Liste der Nebenwirkungen steht nicht etwa Albträume.
Nö.
Da steht
>Anormale Träume<
Genau so.
Heisst beim Aufwachen einfach nur froh sein den Scheiss überlebt zu haben.
Aber hey

56th birthday. Never expected to be here when diagnosed #HIVpositive in 1991 aged 22. Originally told 8-10 years to live, so every extra birthday is testament to the amazing NHS care, HIV meds and most importantly the love of my inner circle, including B and my sisters. #birthday #longtermsurvivor

A pleasure to return to Merchant Taylors' School for my 27th annual visit to share my #HIV talk with Year 12.
On my first visit in 1997, I had been diagnosed HIV+ for just 6 years. I could never have imagined then that I would visiting today as a #longtermsurvivor having lived 33 years with HIV.

Aging, Advocacy, and the Power of New Sounds
A friend recently sent me an article of 50 hardy-har hilarious memes, each with a photo of a random object coupled with the caption, “If you know what this is, you’re officially old.”

As a survivor of AIDS for 25 years, my experience is amoung the shortest of the champions I now consider friends, some who have been living with HIV for 40+ years. While no longer a life threatening illness, it can have a significant impact on daily living. #aids #worldaidsday #longtermsurvivor

Very proud of this piece. My Life Sentence, recounts a pivotal month in 1988—from the moment I learned my ex was dying in an AIDS ward, to the day he passed. it represents an important piece of both Queer and AIDS history. #aids #longtermsurvivor #gladd

My Life Sentence
Learning I was HIV-positive 37 years ago changed everything. But lying to the man who I’d trusted turned out to be my biggest act of compassion.
