Do you suffer from anxiety, depression fear, anger …etc.? Has HIV prompted this or made it worse?
Do you think our primary care physicians and HIV facilities should look into short and long term effects on mental health with HIV infection?
Do you think it should be treated as a serious problem?
The “obvious” answer is yes.
I have been in a relationship with a white man ,he used to love me and care for me ,support me in everything I needed from him but I have never slept with him ,he was on his process coming to Uganda to visit me but out of fear I decided to disclose him my status before coming .now as am talking his nolonger communicating with me and he couldn't continue with me because his negative guys am depressed .and I really need to be with some one am tired of being single

@A myHIVteam Member. Yep.
Have you ever read the pamphlet on your medications?
Some medications you can just take them without food.
Other medications you have to take them with food.
for the medications that you have to take with food do you know what kind of food you have to eat to make that drug work at its maximum?
Did you know that some HIV medications work better when you eat fatty foods?
It's important to read those pamphlets that come with the medications then you know how to actually take your medications.
I understand that meds have that time folded up paper glued to the bottle with stuff written on it. I just don't have a microscope to read any of it.
