Indeed, that was my diagnosis for aids. Above my right eye 30 years ago, spot still bothers me, but not near as much as before. I recently got the shingles vaccine. Let’s hope it works. Shingles… read more

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

Geneva, IL

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.

Remembering Ryan White. Today Is The Anniversary Of Ryan's Death.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Looking back during this time, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think today, but looking back to the time, did you think Ryan was treated fairly? Was people justified to be scared back then?
You can be honest, nobody is going to attack you. Things have changed and so has most people.
So, what was your thoughts on Ryan's treatment BACK THEN. AGAIN, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think 💬 🤔 today, but what you thought back then.

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
