About Me
24 year vet divorced with 2 daughters. Since I was tested negative I have benn feeling pretty good. The drug that made me real sick was called uroxotral. Within 2 days of not taking it I improved dramatically. I will never forget the week I was 100% positive I had HIV. It was the worst week of my life. I still battle with depression but that is so miniscule compared to everything else. I do feel fortunate no matter my other problems I deal with.
Interests
I gamble way to much. I like to bowl I take care of my kids 16 and 14.

Close HIV
I had a risky encounter on April 4. Now I have flulike symptoms 3 weeks later. I tested Apr 30 and I will find out results within 3 to 5 days. I now know I am negative but I defintely know how it feels thinking you have this disease and I can empathize with everyone in this group positive or negative
Close Gambling Addiction & Recovery
I have been gambling since I was 6 years old. I have always worked and I am always in debt. I bet horses sports and since I live in Vegas I even lose on the machines. I consider myself an idiot. I have managed to pay my bills but the losing is really depressing and frustrating. I gamble everyday while working 2 jobs and getting a military pension. I also invest in stocks but i stink at that cause my compulsive gambling makes me trade everyday which is usually a disaster.
