Abstract

When I got my test result, I didn’t really change anything at all. In the long run, maybe, I might say that it did change things a bit, I got a bit more isolated, but nothing else. I take care not to transmit it, I watch what I am eating, and that’s all. Once I tried meditation, it’s not easy to meditate, so I stopped it because my cat would always disturb me. I didn’t go for medical monitoring right away. I was infected in 1986, or 1987, I don’t exactly remember, and I only started to go to the HIV center shortly before we met, not before. I went there because I was tired, and I didn’t feel well, but I don’t know if that was psychic or something related to HIV, I have no idea. But I was not happy there, the doctors kept changing. Now I go to Doctor X, I go there quite often, once every two months, every six weeks, every month. He initiated treatment and takes blood, and every time there are differences.
