Has Anyone Already Had The Monkeypox Vaccine? What Were The Side Effects? Did You Only Get That One Or Did You Get More At The Same Time?

Alguien Ya Se Aplicó La Vacuna De La Viruela Del Mono? Cuál Fue Su Efecto Secundario? Solo Se Aplicó Esa O Se Aplicó Más Al Mismo Tiempo?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I see that they apply it at any Wangleers by appointment. Does anyone know if it has a cost?

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

@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

Monkeypox

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Has anyone asked their doctor about monkeypox yet?
I just sent an email to my doctor to see if there was any kind of vaccine for it. From what I have read so far, it does not look like there is, but the smallpox vaccine is 80% effective against it. 80% is better than 0%.
Would you get a monkeypox or smallpox vaccine to try and prevent monkeypox?

Vaccination Reactions

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Sierra Vista, AZ

Thinking about this because @A myHIVteam Member just talked about a sore arm from vaccination, and partner & I are headed for vaccination today for flu & covid. How many people have a regular reaction to vaccination? I do every time (sore arm, feeling crappy). My partner, on the other hand, rarely has a reaction. I think that if I have a reaction, I needed the vaccination, otherwise the real thing would have been much worse. My partner says, "The reaction means your body was already primed… read more

Just a slightly sore arm that didn’t last long at all.

HIV vaccine won't help us even if it becomes available. Vaccines prevent symptoms. We already have symptoms. You can't prevent something you already have.

Postpone Lab Work?🧐

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

On Friday I got some weird rash that itches like hell. It’s on my torso not big but pink and raised. This morning another little rash showed up next to my nipple again small but itchy. Last time I got a bad rash I started biktarvy. He gave me a steroid cream and it went away in 2 weeks. I decided to use the steroid cream on this rash. Question is my 6 month blood work is in 2 weeks. Should I postpone since I’m afraid that the steroid cream and the rash might affect my true viral load cd 4 count… read more

I don’t think a topical steroid will affect you viral load numbers. I never postpone my labwork

Has Anyone Noticed That NONE Of The Covid Vaccines Are FDA Approved?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

I was just researching covid vaccines. NONE of them are FDA approved. Instead they are EUA, emergency use authorization. The issuance of an EUA is different than an FDA approval (licensure) of a vaccine.

I have taken the COVID vaccines 4 shots because I trust my primary physician and I'm not trying to catch anything else. Truvada messed me up and I'm still taking bone density tests and have arthritis… read more

Once Created, Would You Ask Your Primary Care Physician To Give You The COVID-19 Vaccine Shot?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Although months away, would you isolate yourself again or get the vaccination? Does a treatment in the meantime , satisfy your concerns?

A myHIVteam Member

Wow, that's a lot. Government should help subsidize the fees.
