Im wondering , when pretty sick, that he only will see me every 3 months, even when i'm in pain and need help. Al he does is check my counts. As well as being a new id doctor, he swears that the medication im on. (Abacavir/Lamivudine & Isentress) Have no side effects. That my excessive amount of health issues and the regimen, has no part with my health issues. Do you think i should see a new doctor.
Yes! Definitely ask to see a new doctor. I was asked by my nurse if I would see a new doctor, to which I agreed to; she was a nightmare, so unsympathetic to my situation and didn't believe that I… read more

The person who infected me was a drug user also. So far it’s been 7 months since diagnosis I have hiv but so far I’ve been hep c negative. My doctor said 6 months after possible infection if I test negative for hep c I’m in the clear anyone concur with that. Also I heard hep c and hiv don’t play well together but I heard hep c can be cured?

My doctor of 11 years retired and I got no referral. Now, I can't find another who'll take me without a referral. I've recently gone through Covid induced pneumonia (recovering), so it's dangerous for me to be without medical care. Anyone in the BR area who can recommend a doctor, please do. Thanks.
@A myHIVteam Member, there is a provider directory on this site, type in your area and see what doctors come up.
Do you think your doctor has your best interests in mind. With all the information out there from sites like this and the internet it can be overwhelming and contradicting.
@A myHIVteam Member. With all the struggles you have had concerning your health, I'm glad you don't have to struggle with your healthcare.
@A myHIVteam Member. Shop around where you live now… read more
It infected by day 7 and went to urgent care, get treatment. But my question is do we need to approach wound care differently? If so, how?
Infections in the feet are especially problematic because as we age circulation to the feet declines. Poor circulation is the primary cause of infection in the feet, rather than HIV infection. It is… read more
With different pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna all creating a covid-19 vaccine in the coming months, which one would you decide to take or would you at all? 🤔
@A myHIVteam Member You are very correct. As long as these vaccines give a great results then each year we will have to get another vaccine just like we do yearly for the flu shot. The Covid… read more
Just curious. If you attend a local AIDS Walk, what is your purpose?
Supporting the cause, walking with your friends, enjoying the party afterwards, or just exercising.
@A myHIVteam Member, I wish I was there early to check out all the booths. I Appreciate All That You Do.
