One of the first things I was told is that an HIV / AIDs diagnosis brings with it a rollercoaster of ups and downs so make sure you buckle up. About two years into my diagnosis I can say this has definitely been the case, at least for me. How about yourself? Do any of you remember sage words of wisdom that rang true for you?
Love that,Darrin
Now that the pharmaceutical companies have found a way to keep us alive for 30+ years with a one a day pill,what’s the incentive for them to come up with another pill. Wouldn’t it makes sense for all scientists,pharmaceutical companies etc to now spend all their effort to find a cure. In 15 years from now biktarvy,dovato will lose there patents and these pills will me made by many different companies in generic form which will drop the price for these drugs dramatically?no longer will they be… read more
@A myHIVteam Member. My NP, who has a PhD in immunology, said that although it was thought that acyclovir was effective against HIV, that has been shown to be untrue. He said that he took many of his… read more
I am curious if having a high fibre diet is good and if so what does it do to the body?
I’ve been using a fiber supplement called colon broom. I know the name is rather funny , but it’s very effective .
I am outside currently in Russia and had some medication stolen from a hotel room. Through some contacts here I tried to find some meds but actually there is a huge shortage of meds here. So it is Wednesday and I took my last pill of Biktary. I land back in the U.S. on Sunday evening and should to immediately have pills waiting for me. But will miss 3 doses.
Is Biktary a forgiving drug? How much danger am I in at becoming detectable? Drug resistance?
Thanks
I meant keep a positive mind no negative thoughts
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.
Thanks hun. I been worrying bout that too. Had no interest in dating for past 20 or so years. Met my dream and wanna keep him safe. Took me 62 years to find him.
We should check out 'The old 'Faces of HIV Project'. It examines the effects of stigmas, the personal relationships and care issues associated with being HIV positive. We can do videos like old 'Faces'. This is Renee's Story!

The very promising CRISPR hiv gene therapy disappoints in the latest study.the development of ebt-101 a CRISPR base therapy was used on HIV patients. They were taken off there ARVs and unfortunately there HIV viral loads increased rather quickly. There trying to figure out the problem and of course the HIV reservoirs are the problem. I had hope for this possibly being a good direction to a cure.while the study was small only 4 people. 3 had a rebound in there viral load when they stopped there… read more
As we are still alive because of Dr. Fauci with his incredible work with AIDS & HIV. Developing daily meds with the big Pharmaceuticals that have helped us stay alive taking a pill a day, (which is individual and different for each of us), I just want to give a shout out to thank him, and glad that he is on the "team" to figure it all out. A brilliant Doctor who's always ahead of the game.
So, my family - do you have confidence in Dr. Fauci or support our President with his philosophy that… read more
@A myHIVteam Member then I wish you peace and as much as possible, comfort brother.
My ID doctor prescribed me this med on the rare occasion when I have sex lol. He said take 2 pills right after sex to prevent other sexually transmitted diseases. He also said it’s good for Lyme disease. However I have no intention of having sex with a tick 🥹. Has anyone used this before? My doctor says it’s good for syphilis which he says is out of control in the United States
Thanks @A myHIVteam Member. I can see your point. I don't allow notifications from anyone but my bank, family, and severe weather warnings. And my phone is always on Do Not Disturb. So, I'm not… read more
