Embrace!

I have been thinking the easy way to share some of the important guidance to people who have just been diagnosed with HIV. I did not have a chance a few years ago when I was diagnosed, there was no internet where people could read information.It was doctor words against my words.I did not get any advice So here I can help after my 15 years of living with HIV.

The first thing to do after you find out your HIV status is to search for informations instead of start counting the days left for you to die with negative thoughts.
Embrace your HIV status .You are lucky to find out because with right medications you will live a long, healthy life like anyone else.
Don't fight it, it won't help you it will only put you down.

Be Positive and don't change who you are .HIV is just a chronic disease.It is manageble for people who aware of their status.
It is not the end of the World and please don't think anyone can smell that you are HIV positive .It is also not written into your face .
Take it easy and you don't have to be open about it only when you feel you are READY.
So please make peace within yourself and get ready because once you are out of the closet ,there is no turning back. STIGMA out there will be waiting for your response.You need a strong positive mind  to fight back against any Stigma and discrimination around HIV and AIDS.
Be sure you are ready for this!

Yes your Freedom is your Right but not always this is the case.Sometimes we need to take it slow and see how far we get!
Be positive Be you!
Peace !
