HIV side effects, treatment

If we don't speak up about what we are dealing with regarding treatment side effects (or whatever it is), who will know? Who will listen? Who will care? And how will things ever improve for those who come after us?

Si no hablamos de lo que estamos enfrentando en cuanto a los efectos secundarios del tratamiento (o lo que sea), ¿quién lo sabrá? ¿Quién escuchará? ¿A quién le importará? Y ¿cómo van a mejorar las cosas para las personas que vendrán después de nosotras?

Being an avid traveller, I do have extra exercise and motivation to stay adherent and loyal to my medication. Otherwise, how can I enjoy holidays or work abroad when I am not healthy?

No tienes que pasar por tener VIH o SIDA solo. Incluso si no los tienes, puedes crear tu propia familia extendida.

You don't have to go through having HIV or AIDS alone. Even if you don't have them, create your own extended family.

I started to realize that I wasn't the only person in this situation and that maybe we all lived under very different circumstances, but we all lived in the same situation.

Me fui dando cuenta que no era la única en esta situación, a lo mejor teníamos diferentes circunstancias con las otras mujeres, pero vivíamos en la misma situación.

It doesn't have to be perfect to be just right. If not art, some hobby or venture that allows you to be in a moment that is not tied to HIV, or responsibility to anyone but yourself.

Having navigated the challenges of living with HIV, I've experienced firsthand the stigma and misconceptions surrounding this virus.

It doesn't matter how you became positive; what matters is how you live your positive life.
