I believe that in sharing my story of coping with HIV will help me as much as it will help you and vice versa....I have never talked publicly about my status. To be quite honest I'm afraid to. I'm afraid of what people will say or think. Or how it will effect my kids and my partner. But here I am. I have been living with HIV for 25+ yrs. I have more good days than bad days thank God. I can remember a time when All I had were bad days. I had a very low self esteem. I felt worthless and ashamed. I contracted HIV through unprotected sex. I was young and naive and had low self-esteem what a combo. Today I have my moments when I feel less then but, I brush it off and move on.
