Coordinating Long Term Survivors:
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Looking for others who have experienced some of the same and like to set… read more

What Is Your Advice On Alcohol?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I know that alcohol weakens HIV medication strength but what happens if I get really wasted just once? Will that take a toll on my body/body’s defense system, also could my body go back to how it is before drinking (this is purely hypothetical but i really just want to feel that again)?

A myHIVteam Member
