I would like to know your thought's on the subject. As I watched a video on YouTube this morning. It was a Research Doctor that came up with a way to combat HIV. He had 8 successful candidates, that were given this immunotherapy and one person stopped taking ART and never sad that HIV never rebounded. This Doctor is in Thailand. The side effects of ART was so bad and when they were on Edible Plants. There were NO SIDE EFFECTS! This is a HUGE leap for HIV!

A friend told me that he doubles up on his HIV meds on date night since he doesn't use condoms.
Any advice?

Asking for a friend

I touched up on this question a year or two back, and with many more new members, sometimes it helps to get new fresh answers
Are there services that the gay community gets, that the straight community doesn't? Is it harder for straight positive women to get services or needs that the gay community get easily?
