hi, my name is kent. I was diagnoised in 1991 and have been doing pretty well. I didn't start any pills until 1997 but was having trouble with them. I stopped the following year. didn't start again until 2001 but had some troubles with the meds. Have a great guy as my partner and have been together for almost 10 years. He is negative. I might add, life isn't so bad, even when your positive!
