Testosterone Levels
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone know which supplement(s) to add to your diet to increase your libido?
I know of things like Viagra to stay erect, but what about desire, easier ability to ejaculate?

Here's a good article on 8 foods that will naturally increase testosterone levels.

Exercise can also help increase T. https://www.healthline.com/health/does-working-...

Also my uncle has super low T due to some medical condition perhaps was cancer so now uses testosterone cream daily. He said it makes him hairy all over in particular on his once smooth chest and even on his back which he hates - so be careful what you ask for especially with a prescription.

I use generic androgel, my insurance would only pay for the patches which are no good, I went on Medicare and now am back on the gel it is working very well. According to my treatment team HIV lowers your testosterone, not medical advice just my experience. Pastor David

when I found out about my status I was 3 months pregnant and terrified but thankfully my doctor sent me down and explained all my options so at that point I began to look at ways to remain happy and healthy and protect my unborn fetus luckily she came out negative and then I had another thought that they came out negative I'm grateful for the advances made Ben undetectable is one of the best things as long as you take care of yourself and take your meds and eat healthy exercise protect your mental health we can live a normal life like anyone else

Thanks
Really interesting reading. See my urologist in a week, and you just pointed me in the right direction so as to know what to ask the doctor about
And, thanks for the tidbit on a cream, which I will stay away from. Partial to as little hair as possible
