thanks so much to richard kearns for alerting me to this awareness day via facebook. it certainly speaks to how much has changed with hiv in my lifetime. it's definitely a blessing and a curse. this aging thing holds challenge for us all. but i certainly don't have to point out the incredible advancement that medicine has travelled just in its approach and capability of dealing with hiv. we are worlds beyond our starting point. actually we are galaxies beyond the eighties and nineties. at least in this country. so i humbly honor today. it's so very amazing that we can even acknowledge an aging population with hiv. gold plated problems. this is what we call them in 12 step.this is what "hiv and aging" is. it can be such a wonderful world!

How interesting to read this on a day I am consumed by the issue of my mother's old age, as we concurrently celebrate my nephews 26th birthday.
