There is hope
[Read the article: Middle age threw me a wicked curve]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I too have been HIV+ since the early 80's and never thought I would live very old,after watching my partner who passed away one week before Rock Hudson in 1985,and another one in 1991.I kept asking for 3 years knowing that I could handle that.Having taken care of my first partner in 85 who had KS lesions inside and outside his once beautiful ravaged body,and a second of Dementia in 91, I joined the Hemlock Society Chapter in San Francisco preparing myself for an early exit,should I need one.I also discovered that I had Peyrone's Disease,about 6 years ago.When I would urinate the flow would follow the curve.
Here is the "hope" part,it went away all by itself after 3 years,not totally but at least 97%.
By the way I will be 67 in March,and I too never thought I would make it this far.Thank you for your article.
