Or do you just protect yourself and partner and have a good time🤔😏
I know for sure men with HIV in bath houses do not disclose their status. PREP and PEP doesnt help the conversation. I have seen unsafe sex in bathhouses. I have seen even worse without
I've been taking Biktarvy since August of 2020. I missed one dose within a few weeks of first starting my treatment. Have not missed any other doses since then until a few days ago. I have an alarm set every day and have been taking my meds faithfully. Do I need to worry about this missed dose? I've heard that Biktarvy is a very forgiving drug...
Thanks for answering this one. I missed a dose yesterday and discovered it. I got kind of panicked as this is the first time I missed a dose since diagnosis in 2014. I beat myself up badly. This post… read more

one day will not hurt you.
I took mine every other day for 3 years under a doctor's supervision and stayed undetectable. So in a total of 3 years, I took a total of a year and a half of medication.
In aug I had got sick with a uti and it was pretty bad because I didn’t know I had it. With me fighting that there was maybe two time within that week I missed my meds. In September I think I had missed as well but I also been up and down with takin them at the same time everyday but I am takin them and that’s only due to work and sleep. I have been on the meds five years. My anxiety is triggered and I Ben freaky out with panic attacks that I have became resistant to the meds due to this. Within… read more
My 4 hiv drugs are taken 4 times daily, 12 noon 2pm 10pm and 1am. I can be as late as I wish in taking them, as there is much more forgiveness in a twice or four times daily regime. Twice or four… read more
Good afternoon, how can one work without missing days because in my case I missed a lot due to appointments or because I don't feel well all the time?
Buenas tardes, ¿cómo se puede trabajar sin faltar días porque en mi caso falté mucho por citas o porque no me siento bien todo el tiempo?

Good morning guys, what do you do when you miss taken your medication!? You just take it the next time!? Do you think that will affect the treatment. Sometimes when I’m super tired I forget to take it
If it a one time thing say every 6 months or so, do not double up on your meds. Take it a normal the next time. I always set my alarm in case I fall watching FORENSIC FILES, one can never get enough… read more
Even though my numbers are great for a few years now I get colds and flus etc..easily. Doctor says its to be expected but I miss a lot of work and have been let go before. I just got on ADA and intermittent disability but I work in entertainment and need to be consistent and figure out how to work sick? 😔
The only issue I had was with my platelet count. I would get bruised or skin infections or lung infections easily. When my numbers were up, I got a cold about as often as anyone else living in NY. If… read more
For those of you who wear the reusable face mask and not the disposable, how do you clean your mask?
Do you:
1) Put them in the washing machine?
2) Wash them by hand?
3) Boil them?
4) Wash them in the dishwasher?
I have just been washing them in my washing machine, but today I decided to boil them on the stove top. Tomorrow I might try putting them in the dishwasher. So, how do you clean yours?
I carry alcohol mix ( 2cups alcohol 70% to 1 cup water) in my car and after leaving a place I spray my mask 😷👍🏻
Someone that is negative asked me a question I didn't know how to answer. Are there folks that stay positive for life or does it all end with AIDS?
asking for a friend
Not if they take care of themselves it's not necessarily that they will get a diagnosis of Aids .
Once diagnosed I did just that ( take care of myself ( of course aided by my late husband who was at… read more
