You know very early on I got the brunt of it. I wasn't, yeah I didn't just have many years of good health and lived a normal life and then went onto Uni. It was like, no I was, I had so much HIV in my body it affected all the nerve endings internally, so I wasn't even able to pee. I sat my A level exams with a catheter bag under my jeans and nobody at school knew about it. You know and then being discharged from hospital in order to sit the exams then go straight back to hospital. You know that, it was extremely difficult and when you see what the virus can do to you, physically, emotionally and psychologically you, you're, you're even more aware that OK I need to get cracking. My time is short and you know I need to make the most of what I want to do as quickly as possible.
