From people who came through it

  • “maybe 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.)”

  • “Dear stranger, i was where you are this time last year. For me it was undetectable now but still scared. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. One day at a time.”

    Kunay · been through living with hiv
  • “I'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.”

  • “I was sure I'd nevre feel normal again. I was wrong. Ask for a copy of every letter and result. I keep them all in one folder. Keep going, even slowly.”
