HIV is tough to live with but not impossible. I take a lot of pills in one day, but you do what you have to do to survive. You also have to fight the stigma. You have to deal with people’s beliefs about what HIV and AIDS mean, and you have to hide who you are because of other people’s ignorance and fear. - D.B.

D.B. was diagnosed with HIV in 1991.
