Clinical trials are administered in various ways. They can be using medication, intravenously, transfusion, stem cell replacemen etc....There is no cost incurred to the patient and a reimbursement for the day is usually allotted. All expenses are usually covered by the administrating practice. Patients must meet the qualifications of the clinical trial. At-risk patients will not qualify for these trials. The patients' health is number one in these trials and is monitored very closely. ❤️
Absolutely, without question
Would anyone consider enrolling in a clinical trial? If so what would be your reason?
I want to be one of the trial candidate for the treatment and be a normal person again
With many antivirals and treatments coming up the pipeline , inevitably there will be treatments and trials here in the United States and abroad regarding the treatment and cure of HIV and other diseases like cancer.
Would you consider volunteering your body for research in treatments of these diseases?
Gracious Good Day Sebego. That was my exact thought when I did clinical trials in the mid 1980's. I look back with gratitude that I did so. Even though I am spiritually in the medical warning of… read more
There are also trial staring in NYC and Massachusetts.Saw the article on twitter. I signed up for it and will talk with ID doc to see if it can be monitored using his help.
My doctor is a well-respected researcher of infectious diseases. She said that because I've been on medication for over 30 years that she didn't think my viral load would ever be non detectable given the enormity of medications I have been given. Are there any clinical trials going on for people on my situation. My viral load is 124.

With so many clinical trials going on throughout the world, a cure for the HIV virus is imminent. What would you do upon hearing that they found the cure for HIV?
@A myHIVteam Member - That sounds great.
Why do we think that punishing people will motivate them to embrace their lives, rather than supporting people to move forward(?)
In the late 1980s-90s, I… read more

With different pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna all creating a covid-19 vaccine in the coming months, which one would you decide to take or would you at all? 🤔
@A myHIVteam Member You are very correct. As long as these vaccines give a great results then each year we will have to get another vaccine just like we do yearly for the flu shot. The Covid… read more
Has anyone had the opportunity to speak to their doctor, specialist, etc about taking the Covid-19 vaccine or not taking it? Im usually a little reluctant to take the first round of anything new as it is certainly a trial by fire in some cases. However, I'm not completley against taking the vaccine.
I realize it will probably be a few more months before the opportunity comes to take the vaccine but I will talk to my doctor about it and the potential risks.
I will take it as soon as it is available to me but I haven't talked to my ID doctor.
