Inflammation is a problem with HIV infection.

How do you treat your Valley Fever? Just wondering since it’s a fungal infection. I was born in Phoenix and went to most f grammar school and all of high school there. I’ve met a number of people who had Valley Fever and a few of their dogs which also recovered from it. Until now I had never met anyone dealing with both HIV & FV. I wish you the best.

They tell me you get inflammation with HIV and you get it with another disease that I have called Valley Feaver. And I do not chronically experience inflammation either. Hopefully they stay that way.

HIV has made itself at home in your body. As far as most of us are concerned it’s going to be spending A LOT OF TIME IN YOUR BODY. It will always let you know it’s there. Your body continually (24/7) tries to fight off the virus. It fails. Inflammation results. Since it’s a 24/7 type of thing, your inflammation is CHRONIC.

Thanks! My doc did a bunch of blood work and the results indicated no evidence of inflammation. I've been positive for almost 40 years and this just seemed crazy to me. Kaiser.
