A positive diagnosis of HIV for the over 50s

Abstract

Have you ever had certain moments in time when you can remember exactly where you were, even the clothes you or someone close to you wore when something profound happened to you?
I still bear the scar from my earliest recollection when at the age of two I got bitten by my pet cat. I screamed the place down as the cat turned on me when I tried to stuff her head first into our budgie’s cage. I recall the bird not being too pleased either, but he did survive the ordeal unscathed.
