I do clinical studies for hiv in missouri and wonder won meds in the name contest of growing meds in honor or hiv. It doesn't hurt to double sometimes but don't do it all the time when u only have limited supply and if you skip a day no biggie either just keep in mind supply counts. I've done three meds in clinical study and got a shot made with exchange studies. Being victim in cancer and hiv together you try to beat the odds with doctors on board of course. Waiting a couple of months to start second round of shots again as i develop a higher dose for later use for health
