Today marks two months today since I found out I have HIV. I saw my new HMO doctor today. His first call was to start medication right away, although when I told him my numbers he asked me to repeat them because he thought they were wrong, since it's rare to have someone with numbers like that.
I told him that I have done my homework and I don't want to start medication just yet. I want to see how my body will react to this disease through self-care. I suggested that I get tested every 2 months for now so that we can see how my viral load will be and we can establish a baseline. He thought that was a good plan, not his usual nerdy thing, but a something that was thought out and something he was definitely willing to work with.
He said to do some research in the medications and my response was that I will, although now I am too overloaded and that's something that I need time for.
So I talked to my dad on the phone. I couldn't say it. I just liked hearing him talk about what's going on in his life that I just couldn't bring it up. Should I call him back or wait for the weekend?
