Hi, I have been positive since 1998 and have not been on any medication. I am still very fine, how is that possible?

Hi, how are you doing?

Do you know your current viral load and CD4 count?

HIV can effect each person differently. Some people may experience symptoms very early on or some experience nothing for years.

Have you come across the term Elite Controller or Long-term slow progressor? While these terms are slightly different, they describe a very small amount of people with HIV who are able to naturally suppress HIV without medication.

Josh.
