'HIV is the easy part now — it’s all the aging stuff that’s coming up, but we hit those markers earlier than people who are not living with HIV. We’re classified as the silver generation, because we’re really the first generation of long-term survivors. So a lot of this is new to everybody. It’s new to the patients, it’s new to the providers. So we have to take a step back every now and then just realize we’re all learning this together.'
