So its been what? 9 years?
Thought I’d go ahead and update the blog, its been quite awhile and there are a few things worth mentioning. I split up with my gf after about 4.5 years. It was a tough break, but we had it coming. Looking back, sure I fell in love with her, but she was also the first person to accept me on a deeper level. In other words she was mu first relationship after I got HIV, and so that fact that she accepted me for who I was and what I had, was very important to me. This importance seemed to fade as I came to terms with having HIV, to the point where it carried little to no weight. We weren’t good for each other, that was the bottom line. Not needing her acceptance or anyone else’s for that matter made it all a bit easier. Now one year after the break, after having dated a few girls, I have met this special one, that might develop into something more serious. And im back at the whole “when to tell” dilemma. But its like its much less of an issue now. It feels like I have accepted HIV as an integral part of me, sort of like the color of my air. And so if she can’t accept the color of my hair, well who cares really. Thats how I feel. Its not a big deal. Im sure ill feel more when the time comes, but lets see. Also worth mentioning is that, at the time of writing only 5% of the Danish population has been vaccinated for Covid-19, and so it seems they have chosen people with HIV among the 10% most important/vulnerable. Thats interesting. Maybe we simply fall into the “cronic condition” populace. Anyway, I think I will make an effort and get the vaccine, hoping to get one of the RNA ones. HIV is no issue for me anymore. I hardly ever think about it. Sure meeting a new girl makes me consider it again, but not as wildly as the first time. So there. Life is full of challenges. HIV is not one of the biggest ones at all. Cya Cody
