As a pos I could not agree more with this article. The meds are working well for me. I do live otherwise healthy because of them. Physiologically they do not affect me and the doc's say I fall into about 30 percent of the folks that take this particular set of meds for HIV and do well. They call me a poster boy. But the meds are a chain in a sense. Think of it, as you state correctly, I must take them daily for the rest of my life. Unless something else changes that is. Therefore I must have them refilled every month. Every month. Every month. Every month. Right now they are affordable for me. But, could that change? Could they stop working? Would I have to try other combinations? If I did how would that new combination affect me physically? It looks very good right now and the virus is held in check and it is just about undetectable. But those questions are possibilities. Therefore unlike someone who is disease free, as with any disease, you must always plan ahead what you will do, where you would travel. If you travel you must bring all your meds along. You have to have your prescription paper work with you too. One cannot just get up and leave and go, like I used to be able to. To be negative, again as with any disease, is to be free. If you are free now, stay that way. Stay free. It is the greatest thing you sacrifice if HIV infects you. It is the greatest thing you'll loose, again as with any disease. Your freedom. I haven’t begun to speak of many other aspects of this, but your article is right on. Thank you.
