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.

I remember walking amongst the panels and looking at each with all the love woven into them for the person that died completely overwhelming. And the reading of hundreds of names of the people… read more

Evan I've been tested for months and not tested positive I'm having symptoms that are similar to hiv/Aids I've been tested for cancer and I've been told I don't have canxer
Should the term "AIDS" be retired? I think @A myHIVteam Member might have mentioned this, but this is the first time I've seen it on Medscape.
