Getting the middle age flab summer ready
@A myHIVteam Member At least you can say, with no reservation, that you, "got a pear". Happy Birthday!! 🎁🎂🎈
I was recently diagnosed. Age 59. As I continue to take my meds and age and hopefully become undeteable does this mean the virus is still compromising my immune system while being dormant.
I just discussed this with my HIV doc the other day. The virus is always going to attempt to compromise, but to a massively lesser extent. In particular you starting at your age (and for certain me… read more

Question about always being hot.
Me too crazy right
I want to know, are people really disclosing each and every time they have sex. I was talking to my ex last week and he gave me the impression at least people in his circle of friend do not disclose their HIV status when having encounters or relationships. The discussion started because I had mentioned that I was interested in sleeping with someone that I have a casual thing with but we haven't had the talk and I was thinking about not pursuing it any further. He seriously made me feel dumb… read more
Live life like normal
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.
As we age, HIV takes a toll on every organ of our body. Studies have not been made but clinical trials of various patients with HIV have shown that the virus does affect the brain. How do you deal with realizing that you're forgetting or someone you love is forgetting.?
@A myHIVteam Member I am experiencing the same thing. Just turned 60 the end of August. Memory just not what it was... I find myself grasping for words that I can't get ahold of. It's more in the… read more
For me its “evil germ gremlin”
@A myHIVteam Member OMG that is hilarious I am on the floor hahaha
In the past year or so I have noticed I'm getting very forgetful. And easily distracted. I know HIV can cause memory loss. And of course the meds, and age. Only one of those could make one forgetful. Memories of the past are sharp way back, but foggier approaching the present. I took a memory test once about 10 years ago and didn't do so hot. I'm feeling I need to take a memory test again because this is really affecting my life and confidence.
Anyone else feeling more forgetful these… read more
Yep
My eyes are getting fuzzy and I don't hear a lot of things without my hearing aids.
@A myHIVteam Member, I've had tinnitus ever since I can remember as a kid. It's been constant ringing 24/7/365 for 52 years. It's normal to me since I've lived with it for all my life. I think I was… read more
