Do You Believe In A Higher Power?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Religion and spirituality are two topics that are quite controversial in today's society. Even on this website , we have people who question what a soul and a spirit is. Do you believe in something other than yourself?

Why Believe Dr. Anthony Fauci?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

As we are still alive because of Dr. Fauci with his incredible work with AIDS & HIV. Developing daily meds with the big Pharmaceuticals that have helped us stay alive taking a pill a day, (which is individual and different for each of us), I just want to give a shout out to thank him, and glad that he is on the "team" to figure it all out.

Are You Religious, Spiritual Or Neither?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Please be respectful. Keep comments civil and do not bash other's beliefs. No arguing back and forth. If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all. This site is for positivity and negative remarks can get us down and work against our HIV. Thank you.

Are You Finding Yourself More Stressed This Holiday? Overwhelmed?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Christmas is to be a joyful time. But what is currently happening with the government is hard to ignore or even process. Along with what we with HIV deal with on a daily basis. The stress seems to have affected me both emotionally and physically. My CD 4's have dropped along with other health issues seemingly getting worse. Depression has kicked in more also. Worry about what the future holds, while trying to remain positive and live day to day. How are the rest of you coping?

A myHIVteam Member

A myHIVteam Member

For me it's not a matter of being ready it's more of the possibility of staying alive, and if that's what it takes then so be it.
