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
As we are still alive because of Dr. Fauci with his incredible work with AIDS & HIV. Developing daily meds with the big Pharmaceuticals that have helped us stay alive taking a pill a day, (which is individual and different for each of us), I just want to give a shout out to thank him, and glad that he is on the "team" to figure it all out. 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

Comment in a good way.
I’m 16 years down from the time I tested positive. And to be honest I don’t think the person who infected me was aware themselves. My only wish is that they found out and seek treatment. If would come… read more
Do you think it’s time for the CDC and The national institute of health to refresh there terminology on HIV. It’s 2024 not 1983 and major advances have been made. My opinion on the matter is as followed: first retire the word AIDS it is a dirty word and causes stigma. From now on advanced HIV should be used. Next undectable is everyone under 200 regardless of what lab you use. There is no evidence that I can find that says your healthier below 20 viral load then at 199.so we need to stop… read more

With HIV being a chronic illness, lots of people who are single have a difficult time connecting with others due to this virus.
How do you feel about dating someone who does not have the HIV virus?
Yes I would tell them it's up too them whether or not where I live there's 7,000 people so ...no go here maybe Chicago it's a bigger city
I truly believe in the good of people however when it comes to HIV I have my doubts. I contracted HIV by a guy who said when I asked if he was clean and negative he said yes. Well guess what he wasent.of course maybe he never got tested and had no idea he was carrying the virus. When I go on the evil Grindr or the other apps you see many say negative and on prep. Hmmm but how do I believe them. Or they say tested negative in 2023 in there profile.Hmmm what have they been doing since then. Your… read more
@A myHIVteam Member It's pretty easy to separate the good guys from the bad... the good guys are trying to help the less fortunate. The bad guys attack the powerless. They haven't the balls to go… read more

There have been incidences that we all know of someone somewhere who deliberately infected someone.
What's your feeling on the topic?
I would never want to intentionally infect someone nor can I blame anyone else! I accept responsibility for my own poor decisions regarding my drug and sex addiction. I was aware of the risks yet my… read more
We should check out 'The old 'Faces of HIV Project'. It examines the effects of stigmas, the personal relationships and care issues associated with being HIV positive. We can do videos like old 'Faces'. This is Renee's Story!
