I'm not cured, but the HIV is asleep deep in my body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The important thing is this Just because I'm doing well doesn't mean that they're going to do well if they get HIV. A lot of people have died since I have announced. This disease is not going anywhere.
I tell you, it's funny because the only time I think about HIV is when I have to take my medicine twice a day.
And there's no guarantee that if you get HIV and you take these triple therapies, or whatever comes along next, that they're going to be successful for you.
The lesson is the same as it always has been to the HIV/AIDS community: embrace and celebrate the progress while not letting up the pressure until there is a cure.
I think we all realize that anyone can - and has - gotten AIDS. So there's obviously still a lot to be done.
Living with AIDS is like always having the sword of Damocles over your head. The disease is scarier than death itself. The disease is so messy, so devastating, so pervasive. It robs you of everything you hold dear.
I believe it is better to be prepared for illness than to wait for a cure.
When there's a terrible illness like AIDS sweeping through, you help people.
HIV does not make people dangerous to know, so you can shake their hands and give them a hug: Heaven knows they need it.
I can cure AIDS, and I will.
