Does Anyone Ever Feel Like Life Is Passing Them By?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Canton, MS

Does anyone ever feel like their life is a dead end and not going anywhere? Dead end job, no friends, no dates, just feel like everyday is a vicious cycle of nothing. I'm 59 yrs old and feel like I should be enjoying my life before the time runs out on me. I don't want to get old and be full of regrets.

Happy birthday by the way as for your question no, you have to make life for what it is and HIV is just one part of it. HIV doesn't define who you are as a person. So you can either accept it and have… read more

This Is For The Heterosexual People.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Most of HIV deals with gay men. Straight people with HIV probably feel left out with support, help, or somebody to talk to. My question for straight people is, how do you address things when people talk about HIV and how it's a gay disease, and how gays deserve it for being deviants. Or how do you address when people say, "it will never happen to me, I live a moral lifestyle."

Do You Take *Genvoya*

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Butterfly50 would like to know...
Good morning I am reaching out to anyone. I've been taking Genvoya for a couple of months. I'm having something going on with my heart and I feel tried all the time. And I'm always depressed. I told my doctor and she refused to change my medication. So I'm asking if anyone that's taking this med. To let me know what kind of experience you have taking Genvoya. Thanks in Advance...Butterfly50

Cd4

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Abingdon, VA

Usually my cd4 count had been increasing about 20 each doctors visit.
April 9- 29
April 28- 53
July 7- 79
October 2- 109

However, this time (from october 2 - January 10) it only went from 109 to 112

Should i be concerned? This has me stressed out.

A myHIVteam Member

Yeah. Once my cd4 reaches 200/250 ill get off it

Who Would Like To Join A Camping Get Together This Next Summer (if We Are Not Still On Covid Restrictions)?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

We would love to have a MyHIVTeam camping get together.
You would have to pay your own way to get there, and have your own camping gear (maybe if some people had big enough tents, we could share tents), but we would be interested in seeing who would like to have a week of camping fun this summer in 2021 if covid restrictions are lifted. If you would be interested in something like this, please leave a message so we can start making plans.

A myHIVteam Member

Yes please
