I have not and I live in a rural Hicktown area.
How do you know if your HIV is blooming and what do you do if it happens?
asking for a friend...
RickSchott glad you like my hug dear and yes I just know you are one of gay guys here too . Like doing stuff with guys still too
Do you have any other intakes, practices, or routines to lessen these effects?
Get a pill cutter and cut them in smaller size or you can also crush them
Hi all, I was wondering if people who have been poz for 30+ years can help a fellow member. @A myHIVteam Member is dealing with some depression and knowing you have been through a lot during the AIDS crisis with everything, depression, friends dying, discrimination and the list goes on, I was hoping you can give @A myHIVteam Member some words of advice on how you all cope and coped with this dreadful disease.
Thank you in advance.
By belonging and participating in groups like this. But also understanding that with aging comes depression due to the physical and social circumstances. There are also support groups to help uc… read more
Here in the Northern hemisphere, especially above let's say 30 to 35 parallel, it is getting dark much quicker now, and we will still be losing daylight for another 6 more weeks. The farther North you go, the more and faster you lose daylight.
Some people get seasonal depression with all of the darkness. How do you cope with the darkness and what seems to help with your seasonal depression?
No problems for me
HIV can be spread through unprotected sex. Many here have become infected through this source.

Well I loss interest in sex,and I couldn’t bring my self to do someone what my partner did.now I’m on my meds and I get to know God in a deep way I don’t remember what hurt me anymore.
During the darker, colder, cloudier winter months, many people suffer from seasonal depression. My question is during these months when the sun does finally come out and shine, how do you take advantage of it? Does it change your mood for the day? Do you seem happier?
i have this - i can combat the effects with 5000k light bulbs (they are cheaper than the Florescence that are prescribed) and work just as well - 20 - 30 minutes a day - its not perfect but it helps !

I don't feel that it's necessary to tell anyone, but, don't try to get through it by yourself. Take care of yourself.
I feel like I am reliving the beginning of the HIV epidemic back in the 80's. Lots of feelings from back then come to mind again. The lack of both the Reagan and Trump administration to ignore the science and growing numbers of cases and deaths, thus acting much too late. Tremendous fear of the unknown, and the feeling "am I going to get It"? All the loss of lives. And so much more. I feel numb. I think many of the long termers like me can relate especially to this. The good news, I… read more
@A myHIVteam Member I fully understand your feelings. I, too, have desensitized. The fact that there is no regard for human life on any level. I am doing my best to maintain my peace and I pray that… read more
