Thank you all for your courage and bravery in coming forward with your stories. It really does help the many people out there who have been recently diagnosed, living with HIV for a while, or living with HIV for a long time.
We all progress through the struggle at different rates and all cope in different ways. At every point though we all need hope and that is what you all are helping to provide.
Thank so very much.
Matt
