What Medicine Do You Take?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Abingdon, VA

I have no idea why or how but according to my viral load test my VL went from undetectable to 93. I have never missed my biktarvy. None of it makes sense.

My doctor mentioned possibly switching from biktarvy to something else to see if another medication would “jump start” my cd4. Now she may really want to since my VL is increasing.

I’ve taken several different meds for hiv. Sometimes because of drug resistance, others because they don’t work like they should.

I’ve been on one called duranavir (I think that’s how you spell it)… read more

Who Wants To Join A Zoom Chat?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

I have March 2 (Saturday) to March 9 (Saturday) off. Who's up for a zoom chat during that time(s)?
Usually around 2pm Eastern North American time works best for people around the world. That's about 10pm for Eastern African nations, which still is not too late, and about 8 or 9 am for Hawaii.
Australians will have to get up very early around 2 to 4am.
Last Zoom I tried, something came up last minute and couldn't do it. Now I have an entire week to make something happen, and not just 1 day.

A myHIVteam Member

Thanks @A myHIVteam Member. Appreciate you taking the time to Zoom.

What Bothers You Most About This Cold Weather?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Cold weather can affect us in many ways. Our bones, our sugar levels, our energy, depression and so forth. All take a hit.
Does the cold weather affect you?

A myHIVteam Member

@A myHIVteam Member. It's the dryness. Water moderates the temperature going up or going down. Without water the temperature can quickly change and rise or fall, dramatically.

Do You Wear Deodorant Or Antiperspirant-deodorant?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

I sweat bad. I need an antiperspirant-deodorant. It seems like when I just wear deodorant my underarms are on fire. I've never had problems with deodorant until after experiencing antiantiperspirant-deodorant.
Has anyone else ever had deodorant issues after changing back to an older brand or had issues with deodorant because of your meds?

A myHIVteam Member

Useful cuz this made me laugh out loud!!!!! Thanks you for this!!!

Would You Travel Via An Airplane Or Go To A Movie Theater Or Bar Or Restaurant Once The Restrictions Are Lifted?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Being immune compromised with HIV can lead to other vulnerable disabilities such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and lung disease. For those vulnerable, would you consider venturing out into the public,... safely of course , with a mask on ? . Now remember, not everyone practices social distancing or wears a mask.....

A myHIVteam Member

Yes, I would. Not yet, dough.
