Hello,<\/p>\n
Thank-you for your email. I’m sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis but it’s good to hear how positive you sound. Your CD4 is a healthy count which suggests your immune system is still strong. It’s important to attend regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your CD4 and also your viral load. More information about CD4 counts<\/a>. Both of the groups above may be able to suggest ways for you to contact other HIV+ gay people in the area. I also know that there is still a lot of stigma in India, that makes meeting other gay men difficult enough. Even though a lot of people are HIV positive, very few people are open about their HIV status.<\/p>\n Please do get back to me if you would like any further information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi<\/p>\n Thanks for you support. In Nov 2011, I was tested HIV positive, and my CD4 count was 523. Last week my CD4 test last week came back 670. I felt so good about it, and at the same time I have also gain 8 kg weight.

\nYou asked about meeting other HIV positive gay people in Maharashtra. \u00a0I would suggest contacting the Naz Foundation<\/a>. Alternatively you could contact the Humsafar Trust<\/a> who are based in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
