| Response from Dr. Horwath
 It is difficult to cope with any illness, but many people with HIV have a reasonable quality of life. It sounds like you are very discouraged and depressed. You should get some help for your depression. See a doctor or other mental health professional for help. If your mood improves, you may be able to see things in a brighter light. | |||||||||
