HIV has come a long way from the 80s and 90s. And yes I know many will live a normal lifespan albeit challenging. However do you really believe the science or the scientific community will ,which includes our drug companies that are keeping us alive really find a cure.i read a lot and im extremely hopeful but hiv is such an insidious virus that is exceptionally good invading and hiding in our bodies. Is anyone hopeful that in our lifetime we will be cured and by that I mean no more medication… read more
I have a bridge to sell you also lol
Do you think it’s time for the CDC and The national institute of health to refresh there terminology on HIV. It’s 2024 not 1983 and major advances have been made. My opinion on the matter is as followed: first retire the word AIDS it is a dirty word and causes stigma. From now on advanced HIV should be used. Next undectable is everyone under 200 regardless of what lab you use. There is no evidence that I can find that says your healthier below 20 viral load then at 199.so we need to stop… read more

Undetectable sounds great on paper however we are still like those who don’t have this disease.we can get non hiv health issues that everyone on the planet gets.anyone dealing with medical issues unrelated to hiv that affects them.and does having hiv make it harder to control your other conditions?
@A myHIVteam Member. Yep.

What's in my blood that will indicate that I am HIV undetectable? Is there some kind of dormant or "dead copy" of the virus that confirms that? Otherwise, if it's GONE, why are we still taking the meds? Thanks.
@GlenLT Yes the virus can hide in lymph nodes where the ART can't get to it. It will lay dormant until it thinks it is safe to come out. So take your meds daily.
Just got my latest blood test my viral load previous test was <20 my new test is 40 is that bad am I no longer undetectable? Cd 4 count jumped to 654
You are still considering you are undetectable?? You ok. I'm undetectable and still that way after I got tested yesterday.
It’s hard but as long as you take your meds everything will be ok. You can’t live in fear all the time. That will put a wedge between you and your partner. To be safe have them to use prep. Set… read more
HIV can be spread through unprotected sex. Many here have become infected through this source.
When you are having sex now, does your HIV come into play?
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.
I'm working on getting back on my meds. I have a Dr. appointment next week. I was recently put on Tivicay and Descovy. But then my prescription ran out. I needed Labs done. Then my drivers license was stolen. I had to wait for another one. Then eventually when It came in I had to schedule another lab appointment. Needless to say, I've been OFF the medications for over a month, possibly Month and 1/2. What does this do to the inside of my body and how does it affect how I feel???
Lol, I didn't see that....Good news
