Sorry, without a direct link, I can't read the article. The site has changed since I been on last, and I don't see where they are putting the blogs. There used to be a blog link but I'n not seeing… read more
I’m noticing so many young women joining us here from around the world. While I welcome them, I’m sad that their infection wasn’t avoided. I see advertisements constantly encouraging HIV negative gay men to go on PrEP. I know gay men whose doctors encouraged PrEP.

Some of us have been very fortunate not having any side effects and others have passed on from complications related to HIV.
What bothers you most about it?
Unfortunately @A myHIVteam Member many of those doctors are headed for retirement. My doctor of 30yrs retired in 2019. I thought I would miss him terribly, but he hooked me up with a very sharp… read more
Long-term HIV infection may lead to certain complications and illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders and so forth. As a person with long-term HIV ...how have you handled this both mentally and medically?

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
@A myHIVteam Member then I wish you peace and as much as possible, comfort brother.
It’s hard but as long as you take your meds everything will be ok. You can’t live in fear all the time. That will put a wedge between you and your partner. To be safe have them to use prep. Set… read more
This came up in a discussion earlier for me. We all know what the discrimination or the stigma is of this virus now. But before you was diagnosed, what was your true feeling about HIV/AIDS or people who had it (if you knew of anyone)? How different was your view then compared to now?
I remember watching The Phil Donohue Show and a little girl named Hidea was on talking about living with HIV.My heart went out to her .At that time I was 16 years old with no idea that 3 years later I… read more
Can be one thing or many. May not be obvious to you now, but worthy of your thoughts/time.
