Hi, my name is Edgar. I'm Dominican and live here in NY. I was diagnosed in 2014.

I've been living here in NY for over a year now and I'm looking for friends here in NY. I have no one to talk about, my family doesn't know.

Thank you very much for the support.

It's a hard decision to come out to your family as hiv positive.

Thanks God I'm doing well, undetectable after 4 months on medication and been taking them for almost 3 years now.

Text me a private message with any sort of contact so that we can talk via email, text or i don't know.

Have a great day pal!

Hi Edgar,

Stay strong, must follow your doctor's orders and you will be fine. I am available to chat and talk about it. It's not easy but you adopt to your new life.

Thank you very much!

Is not that new, not anymore, it's been almost three years now.

I know understand better and know a lot more than what I knew when I was first diagnosed.

I thought it was a death sentese, but I got help immediately. I'm now undetectable and I will keep it that way with God help.

Thank you for your support and offering to listen/read to me.

Have a great day

Edgar, from NY
