jk, not really. ill take retroviral meds and keep on keepin on. more progress is being made with the diseas everyday, we are getting close to a vaccine and maybe even a cure.
Honestly, it is not a big deal. With proper treatment, you can live a full life with HIV. I would MUCH rather have HIV than cancer. It doesnt seem like HIV is really all that bad now a days. Not saying it can't be a horrible disease, but it seems like they have found a good way of controlling it's dangers.

HIV carries a far worse social stigma than cancer
are you saying you would rather have a worse disease to avoid society viewing you in a bad light?

So? Who cares about what people think. Cancer kills even the wealthiest, most powerful people in the world. Look at Steve Jobs. If you have the money to buy for expensive doctors and treatment, HIV won't kill you. Magic Johnson has had HIV for almost twenty years. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but cancer will kill you more often than HIV. This isn't the 80s-90s, HIV is not a death sentence.

sorry. not everyone had the money to pump down their veins for HIV treatment. it is my view that HIV has a far heavier emotional impact on people. yes it absolutley does matter what people think whether you want to believe that or not. yeap cancer sucks, and you can very well die from it. but you dont have to fear infecting those closest to you.
I'd wonder what the hell extensive testing was needed to come to that diagnosis (as HIV testing is done via a simple blood test), dismiss my doctor as a quack on those grounds, and seek a second opinion.
