Can I Work In The Medical Field Being Positive? I Live In Montana.
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I just moved back to Montana from New York and I'm in a small town with limited job opportunities. I've had three people suggest that I work in the nursing home and I have years of experience doing such. I haven't filled out any applications yet and don't know if I can. Being as I am positive I don't know if I can work in the medical field. Does anybody have any advice on going about finding out or know if it's a plausible situation?

Have A Detectable Viral Load First In 15 Years!
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Got blood results from my HIV doc the other day and they were surprising. I guess we kind of take it for granted we will have an undetectable viral load not having one so many years. But when you do it kind of freaked me out. The weird thing is my CD 4 count was over 1,000. He is going to retake the test. Hopefully a glitch. But if not he will be changing my meds.

Anyone else have a detectable viral load or have one come and go? Just wondering?

A myHIVteam Member

I wish you good luck. I think most the time anymore that if you come back being detectable the norm is to get retested. I have had this happen to me 5 times since I was diagnosed with AIDS.and every… read more
