Has Anyone Noticed That NONE Of The Covid Vaccines Are FDA Approved?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

I was just researching covid vaccines. NONE of them are FDA approved. Instead they are EUA, emergency use authorization. The issuance of an EUA is different than an FDA approval (licensure) of a vaccine.

A myHIVteam Member

I have taken the COVID vaccines 4 shots because I trust my primary physician and I'm not trying to catch anything else. Truvada messed me up and I'm still taking bone density tests and have arthritis… read more

Do You Treat Yourself From Time To Time?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Just recently I went out and bought a bike that I have been wanting for over 5 years. Most of my expenses go toward others and day-to-day things. Vacations and such are expenses that I put off until I know that everything else and everyone else including family and friends... are okay. I'm feeling a bit of guilt with this recent purchase as it is quite higher than I would spend on myself ... Any thoughts? 🤔

A myHIVteam Member

late to the party on this one -
NO GUILT DUDE -
its yours enjoy -
and i treat myself all the time - why not i am worth spoiling!

What Kind Of Meal Plans Or Diets Do You Follow, If Any?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Nutrition is a big concern for us with HIV. Diet plays a big role. Do you follow any specific diet since becoming infected with HIV, or do you still follow the same diet you did as before you were infected
Is there any kind of meal plans you would like to share with everyone? Exercise is important too, but I am just looking to see what people eat on a daily, or weekly basis. So everyone, what do you eat to help with your HIV, how often do you stick to your plan, do you have daily meals (for… read more
