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?
I see that they apply it at any Wangleers by appointment. Does anyone know if it has a cost?
Veo que la aplican en cualquier Wangleers previa cita. Alguien sabe si tiene algún costo?
I had 2 monkeypox/smallpox vaccinations last year....that confers immunity to monkeypox by around 90 percent.
Once Approved By The FDA And Qualified In Clinical Trials, Would You Have Your Physician Give You The Covid-19 Vaccine?
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

Monkeypox
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%.

Something I should have learned 22 yrs ago

Vaccination Reactions
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.
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?🧐
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
