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.

Any advice?
Asking for a friend

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.
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

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?

So, what was your thoughts on Ryan's treatment BACK THEN. AGAIN, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think 💬 🤔 today, but what you thought back then.

Is it possible if your on arvs and undetectable to get another hiv infection from another person . From what I’m understanding is that reinfection is rare. And usually only becomes a problem if you contract a different strain that is resistant to the arvs your taking. But my understanding is the resistance new virus would have to be resistant to all the ingredients of your arv to cause issues. Anyone have thoughts on this
Yes I’m at the stage of anger and every little sniffle I get I think I’m dying
A lot here on my HIV team are either retired disabled or currently working. Either way services like Ryan White and other AIDS funding helps with preventive and medical coverage. Some states like Tennessee(...read about it here, https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2023/01/2... )...
have elected to refrain from receiving any federal HIV grants and funding. Would this affect you in your state,... if these Services were terminated?
I wish my country had such initiative for people like me.....we go through alot despite faking our smile....at times the free ARVs are unaccessible due to shortage....
