    I was diagnosed in 1985, I've outlived most close friends. I got so comfortable knowing I was going to die soon, that I forgot how to live. I never really regained that knowledge. Chronic depression, drug toxicity, etcetcetc. With help, I realized my real issue was feeling that I was no longer in control of my life. When I realized suicide was the ultimate control I felt remarkably better. It seems counter-intuitive but when I actually found a therapist who would discuss suicide with me without diving for the phone, it was a relief. I'm not saying suicide is no longer on the table, it definitely is ,but somehow seems less likely

    Aging with AIDS, I lost all my t-cells by 1990 (pos since 1981). With all the drugs they never fully returned. It's AIDS not HIV. Long term surviver is for people with AIDS , who developed AIDS before treatment was available. Those who had some or many defining illnesses like, CMV, PCP, Toxoplasmosis, KS and so many others. Today HIV+ is for people after treatment was available (1994 Crixovan) while still having an amunosystem with t-cells . If treated before they lose t-cells (below250 count by blood test) with a one pill triple drug once a day , then they will never develop AIDS ( if they respond well, and are consistent with there therapy. AIDS is acquired from many years ( around ten )with no treatment.
    Many people today just have HIV, not AIDS. WHY, because affective treatment has been around for 25 years.
