From people who came through it

  • โ€œmaybe you just found out. or maybe you've known for a while. either way, it's heavy. the pill is tiny. the fear is huge. tell one person you trust. for me that was grace. she didn't act weird about it. the undetectable thing is real, it's science, not just a promise. but the fear might stick around for a bit. that's fine. find something to hold onto. for me it's my plants. for you it might be something different. you're not the only one in this, even when it feels like it. (i know, i dislike that phrase too. but it's true.)โ€

  • โ€œYou just found out. Everything feels upside down. I know. For weeks I couldn't say the word out loud. But the pills work. The doctor explained U=U, and I'm still learning to trust it. You don't have to tell anyone yet. Take your medicine. Go to your appointments. Find one person you can trust, even if it's a nurse. It's not the end of your life. It's a different beginning.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was where you are this time last year. It was u=U and believing it and I couldn't see past it. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œI've been there. For me it was two years ago. Telling a new partner, every single day. I picked up the guitar again. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ€
