 Well - that is what this Web Site is for. Check the sections under "treatment" for reviews of how we approach starting meds. And info on how we can successful stop HIV from doing damage - and how we can regrow an immune system. And check on the other sections - there is much to be learned. The key is to find support - from friends, from others who are positive and gotten thru the initial shock, and an expert health care provider who not only knows HIV, but in whom you have confidence. With these tools you can accomplish what so many have - which is to transform this feeling of fear and overwhelm to one that becomes very manageable and under control. CC | ||
