The first thing to tell you is that you should face up to the fact that you have been infected with the virus and realize that the fact cannot be changed. You should also realize that there is still a long time between infection and onset of the disease, and that the length of survival of an infected person can be largely in your own hands as long as you remain optimistic and actively treat the disease. Therefore, one should treat the disease correctly and enjoy life. Secondly, HIV infection is not a very special case, this infection is happening all over the world and anyone can be infected. Therefore, there is absolutely no need for self despise and self pity. Third, if you have the conditions, you can establish contact with other people you know who are infected with HIV and meet regularly to talk about your feelings, vent your emotions and share your experiences in taking care of your body. This will help you make many new friends and learn useful information that will help you rebuild your confidence in life. You should believe that you are not alone, there are many people in the society, including your relatives and friends, who are caring and helping you. Fourth, it is recommended that you should try to maintain your self-reliance in your daily life (even during the period when you have developed AIDS symptoms), for example, you can help your family to do some household chores, which can improve your relationship with your family, and you can also realize the value of your existence and regulate your emotions, which is beneficial to your health. Fifth, it is important to maintain a good sense of self. You should be convinced that you are still the same person you used to be. If you were a useful person in the eyes of others, you are still a useful person now. Regardless of what others think, try to integrate yourself into society and your family. As in the past, show that you are still a responsible member of them. Sixth, you should never lose hope in yourself. In fact, there are many reasons to remain hopeful, such as: AIDS is not curable at the moment, but the drugs are very effective in controlling the disease. The current price of medicine is very high. However, with the efforts of all parties, the price of drugs will come down. Moreover, there is a long period of time before the disease can develop after you are infected with HIV, usually 7-15 years. Therefore, even though you have been infected with HIV, you can still live for many years, so you have reasons to arrange your life well and live well. You should believe that with the progress of society and the development of science and technology, AIDS will be overcome one day. Many of the world’s terminal diseases that were considered incurable in the past have been defeated one by one, haven’t they! Therefore, one should firmly believe that with the development of science, mankind will develop effective treatment drugs in the near future. The longer you live, the closer you will be to that day, and the greater the possibility of being cured eventually. It is important to believe that with the progress of society and the development of science and technology the price of expensive drugs will gradually decline. Although antiviral drugs cannot be produced domestically yet, the government and the community are working hard to bring down the price of imported drugs and actively exploring the development of antiviral drugs in China. It is believed that in the near future, several kinds of inexpensive and effective antiviral drugs will be available so that infected people can receive effective treatment. You should realize that you are fighting a new enemy that mankind has not yet conquered, and that you are not alone, but that there are millions of people behind you who care and help support you. So, staying alive longer is a contribution to this battle. Seventh, if you have developed the disease, especially in the late stages of the disease, you should make a realistic estimate of the disease. However, do not be pessimistic and cooperate actively with treatment for a chance of survival. At the same time, you should understand that death is an inevitable part of life for everyone. At this time, you should think carefully about making arrangements for the afterlife, so that you can finish your final journey without regrets, calmly and with dignity under the love and care of your relatives. Finally, we would like to remind you not to mind the inappropriate words of other members of the family. When a family has a person living with HIV, it will bring a heavy psychological and financial burden to the family, which will inevitably affect the mood of other family members and caregivers. Sometimes they may show impatience or resentment. We trust that you will understand the external, psychological and financial pressures on your family and appreciate their feelings. You should believe that blood is thicker than water and that family ties will not be cut off by an illness. You should treat them with tolerance, participate in family affairs with a positive attitude, and always show that you are a responsible member of the family.
