Some people I know, HIV is part of their life and it almost becomes… It becomes part of your identity in a way. Be it the people that they hang out with, the only sexual partners they'll have. The, you know, the tattoos on their body. It's all… It's very much they are, they are in that. 

But they, they're HIV, and they're almost like a professional HIV person. Like it becomes a key part of their life and their identity… And I just… Like I said, with the, with the drugs, I forget I'm taking them. I just like take them automatically. The way I put my lenses in or brush my teeth. It's becomes part of my life and it just… I don't think about it. 

I thought it would have more impact on my life when I was diagnosed. You know, I was thinking, oh, you know, it's going to be changes and this and that. And then I found that it, it wasn't. I didn't, I didn't need to… You know… All my friends know and stuff, but it just isn't an issue. Especially now since my health has stabilised.
