How Do You Try To Prevent Yourself From Getting Somebody Else's Sickness?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

How do you protect yourselves from getting those germs, to make you sick?

A myHIVteam Member

Lipodystrophy

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Ruston, LA

When I was diagnosed with AIDS last year (July '17) I weighed 150 lbs. Since then I have gained almost 50 lbs. I watched a video on Poz.com about lipodystrophy and I'm wondering if that is what is happening with me.

I have other health issues which keeps me from serious exercise but I do walk 6-10 miles a day for several months and still have not been able to lose more than 6 lbs. I have even improved my diet to add more protein and cut down on carbs and sugars.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Sierra Vista, AZ

I always wanted to be one of those guys who could drop the engine of a car, or tear apart a motorcycle with confidence. That's not me. But, this morning I am rotating the wheels on my electric skates, and it's pretty much the same thing. 🤠. Even have grease under my fingernails to prove it!

A myHIVteam Member

Well... FWIW... I've always said that a real man takes it up the ass haha
