Are You Concerned About Staying Heatthy?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Since being diagnosed with HIV, have you become more aware and fearful of germs, viruses etc. Do you take more precautions and take better care now than prior to being poz?

I wear a face mask at work in winter to avoid catching other people's germs. I use the antibacterial hand wipes at the stores to wipe the handles on the shopping carts.
