Does Heat Affect You?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

With this summer season being the hottest on record and more to come,... does your body and overall health become affected by the heat?

I have no choice because of my profession. Sometimes I don’t have the luxury of AC when I’m working on an interior. Then I have days like today demoing a deck in this heat . I try to stay as hydrated as possible but it’s hard when you sweat out all the water you drink.

Yes heat makes me very cranky as it draws all my energy down quickly. I try to only go out late night early am. It also dehydrates my body so l have to drink more water.

A cool shower before bed can make for better sleep when it's hot. 💦🤠

I'm extremely heat sensitive. Whether a hot shower or heat from the sun. Since HIV or the meds. I sweat profusely. I tend to stay away from the heat. Unless I'm going for that sweaty sexy look.
