Re: New to the group and had a few questions...

Trust your own intuition. Others can share their experience and specific resources, but I'm certain you know better than anyone what needs to be done.

In retrospect, I can easily say that I have done a much better job of providing for myself and giving myself happiness after I was HIV+ than before. And have become even better at that over time. HIV is an opportunity which most who are sleep-walking through life are never given.

When people find out they are HIV+, after attending to the neccessary details of finding medical care and learning about treatments, they often find compromises they were making in their life are no longer acceptable. You can gradually discover you are free to do as you like. Even more curious, you will find that people you thought might disapprove of your new decisions are actually indifferent - the constraints were almost all of you own making.
