anal warts ***COULD*** lead to anal cancer. Talk to your HIV doctor about the warts, and they will get you scheduled with a doctor who will remove them. Depending how bad they are, they can freeze… read more

Vaccination Reactions
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Thinking about this because @A myHIVteam Member just talked about a sore arm from vaccination, and partner & I are headed for vaccination today for flu & covid. How many people have a regular reaction to vaccination? I do every time (sore arm, feeling crappy). My partner, on the other hand, rarely has a reaction. I think that if I have a reaction, I needed the vaccination, otherwise the real thing would have been much worse. My partner says, "The reaction means your body was already primed… read more

Just a slightly sore arm that didn’t last long at all.

Monkeypox
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone asked their doctor about monkeypox yet?
I just sent an email to my doctor to see if there was any kind of vaccine for it. From what I have read so far, it does not look like there is, but the smallpox vaccine is 80% effective against it. 80% is better than 0%.
Would you get a monkeypox or smallpox vaccine to try and prevent monkeypox?

Remembering Ryan White. Today Is The Anniversary Of Ryan's Death.
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Looking back during this time, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think today, but looking back to the time, did you think Ryan was treated fairly? Was people justified to be scared back then?
You can be honest, nobody is going to attack you. Things have changed and so has most people.
So, what was your thoughts on Ryan's treatment BACK THEN. AGAIN, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think 💬 🤔 today, but what you thought back then.

Has Anyone Noticed That NONE Of The Covid Vaccines Are FDA Approved?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I was just researching covid vaccines. NONE of them are FDA approved. Instead they are EUA, emergency use authorization. The issuance of an EUA is different than an FDA approval (licensure) of a vaccine.

I have taken the COVID vaccines 4 shots because I trust my primary physician and I'm not trying to catch anything else. Truvada messed me up and I'm still taking bone density tests and have arthritis… read more
