Is This All There Is?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Now that the pharmaceutical companies have found a way to keep us alive for 30+ years with a one a day pill,what’s the incentive for them to come up with another pill.

Remembering Ryan White. Today Is The Anniversary Of Ryan's Death.
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Looking back during this time, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think today, but looking back to the time, did you think Ryan was treated fairly? Was people justified to be scared back then?
You can be honest, nobody is going to attack you. Things have changed and so has most people.
So, what was your thoughts on Ryan's treatment BACK THEN. AGAIN, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think 💬 🤔 today, but what you thought back then.

What Is The Difference Between HIV Vs AIDS?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

HIV and AIDS are related, but they’re not the same
HIV is a virus. It may cause AIDS after you’ve been infected for several years and it’s weakened your immune system. Not everyone who has HIV will get AIDS. But the infection will advance to AIDS, usually in 10 to 15 years, if you don’t get treatment with antiretroviral drugs.

Many people with the virus don’t know they have it. Of the nearly 1.3 million people in the U.S. who have HIV, more than 160,000 haven’t been diagnosed and aren’t… read more
