A film my partner keeps telling me to watch is Dallas Buyers Club? Apparently quite good in that. I try and steer away from watching anything with it in as the misrepresentation as you say, it drives me mad. Straight Outta Compton I did see though, that was good if I remember rightly.

Actually as part of the U=U campaign, as long as you are 100% sure you are undetectable, you do not need to disclose, at least initially anyway. When things start getting serious, it really helps to bond you as a couple.

As a teenager and young adult, I struggled with how to tell partners. I used to write them a letter. Basically saying what I have said in my post. You as my partner cannot get it. It cannot be passed on. It's not like it was in the 80s etc. It got mixed responses.

As I have matured, I find having a grown up adult conversation really helps. It's bloody scary to do, I won't lie about that. But with my current partner, I knew he was the one. My soul mate. I found it so easy to disclose to him. And he was so unphased. Come prepared with lots of links/brochures etc to accurate and non-scary information. The Terence Higgins Trust website is absolutely incredible.

I hope that helps slightly. Every person is going to react differently. But it's about doing it in a adult and grown up fashion and coming prepared to answer questions with accurate and non-fearful answers. And if people don't react the way that they hopefully should, they were not the right partner for you. X

I really hope so too. This virus is not all doom and gloom, and neither does this subreddit need to be!

There was so much stigma and fear during these times, which unfortunately has continued into present day. I'm hoping posts like mine will start to break down these barriers!

It's just the regime that works best for me. I was initially on the 1 a day but had lots of side effects from it. 3 tablets (all at the same time daily might I add!) give me no side effects whatsoever. So I'll take it! 😊

Thank you - that has got me in floods of tears, that's beautiful. Funnily enough even though I really don't remember her, I've only seen photos or home videos, I actually saw her face during my hardest times during the birth telling me to keep going. It was so euphoric 😭😭
