I am looking for places in Dallas that will help with rent on apartment. Anyone know of any?

I feel like I am reliving the beginning of the HIV epidemic back in the 80's. Lots of feelings from back then come to mind again. The lack of both the Reagan and Trump administration to ignore the science and growing numbers of cases and deaths, thus acting much too late. Tremendous fear of the unknown, and the feeling "am I going to get It"? All the loss of lives. And so much more. I feel numb. I think many of the long termers like me can relate especially to this. The good news, I… read more

Have you received the covid-19 vaccine?
If you have can you please share your experience, side effects etc with us? A lot of us are very curious about this. Thank you for all you do and continue to do for us, God bless you 💉😷❤️👍🤗🎅🤶

Asked this question about a year ago, wondered where we are at currently. I turned positive in 1987 and have had it for 33 years. I am 67. I wonder what my life would have turned out had I not contracted it. But I have learned to have to live with it. For me it has been a hard journey in many ways. Really tired of pills and going to the doctors and having procedures all the time. Then feeling fatigued so much. My docs say it is all about how long I have had the virus, how long I have… read more

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. A brilliant Doctor who's always ahead of the game.

So, my family - do you have confidence in Dr. Fauci or support our President with his philosophy that… read more

With unfamiliar viruses like COVID- 19 surfacing, are you concerned more today than yesterday, regarding your HIV infection and health? Have you changed or added any measures?

This should come as no surprise to anyone with HIV. Covid-19 coronavirus is highly mutagenic (like HIV). The use of a single antiviral causes the Covid-19 virus to mutate towards resistance.

After you are fully vaccinated will you still continue with wearing a mask, social distance, and avoiding large crowds?
It appears the majority of the team will get vaccinated and I wanted to find out what changes you will make after it's done.
Everyone will adapt to their own "new normal" when things begin to settle and get sorted out.

Although months away, would you isolate yourself again or get the vaccination? Does a treatment in the meantime , satisfy your concerns?

Asked my HIV doc last week at appointment. I am a long termer 32 years, and 67 also have kidney issues amongst much more. He said unless I'm symptomatic or exposed not to worry. I told him I would like to know what my status is and he said if you insist, there are two free testing sites that test everyone out of the city limits. Question is, should those of us, as the vulnerable community, be tested anyway regardless of being symptomatic or have been exposed so we can adjust our lives… read more
