Hi, everyone. I am female and 26 (almost 27) years old and I have had HIV since birth, All of my life I have been on constant medications and to be honest.....I'm tired of them. I HATE pills and have a hard time consuming them. As I got older over the years, I started to become very self-conscious about my condition and it caused to go into a deep depression. I was scared to date anyone because of the intense fear of rejection. I cope sometimes by eating a lot, which made it worse due to my excessive weight gain, I became very irresponsible with my medication intake to the point of almost dying from pneumonia last year. This year, I'm trying to keep my head above water and not drown in my own sorrows again. I just want to be able to have someone who can love me, regardless of my condition. When is a good time to tell your partner about it before things go too far?
