About Me
I'm 48 white male new to Shreveport, LA moving from New Orleans, LA where I was living for the last 8 years. (Yes, went through Katrina). Diagnosed in 1997 when I lived in Fort Worth, TX. My former lover and I were diagnosed at the same time. He was HIV+ and I had AIDS. My T-cells are around 39 now and feeling nervous. I was one of the few that were part of the case study for Fuzeon. Injections suck! It got me healthier faster. No regrets. I'm now on oral meds and haven't seen my new primary Dr. (that happens in April). The reason I moved from New Orleans was because of stress.
