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.

if I’m pregnant(I am not currently pregnant or anything,)currently pregnant or anything, and give birth vaginally, do I pass it on to my kids? Do I have to do a C-section in order to not pass it along to my children? Sorry if that’s a dumb question I again have been so sheltered in my life.

HIV Vocab
You may have heard your doctor use some words, when talking about HIV, that you’re not familiar with. Let’s talk about some of these key terms so you can start to better understand HIV

Seems like the Trump Administration is sending out mixed messages, with scientists, doctors, the CDC and even people in his own cabinet telling us to take this quite seriously, and how to prepare, and what to know. And President… read more

HIV and AIDS are related, but they’re not the same
HIV is a virus. It may cause AIDS after you’ve been infected for several years and it’s weakened your immune system. Not everyone who has HIV will get AIDS. But the infection will advance to AIDS, usually in 10 to 15 years, if you don’t get treatment with antiretroviral drugs.

Many people with the virus don’t know they have it. Of the nearly 1.3 million people in the U.S. who have HIV, more than 160,000 haven’t been diagnosed and aren’t… read more
