Career’s For HIV Individuals

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Las Vegas, NV

Can someone guide me in this question, what are the career options for us to go to college? I was trying to get into an associates degree but I searched if hiv person is allowed to work in that field and I found out that I can’t. I’m beyond broken and sad... why does it have to be this way?

Barry yes l have Lipo & fatty liver syndrome plus diabetes from the HIV & meds. I too did Egrifta for over a year did nothing for me either but lm considering going on it again to try to aid w the fatty liver which is much worse now.
The true way to combat it my brother found whose also hiv+ has been going on the keto diet. He lost the fat & his blood sugars hover around 5. I struggle w the no carbs & sugar so lm cutting back but not completely. Im eating way less carbs hoping it will make a huge difference in the next few months.
