Do You Have A Sense Of Humor?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

There have been clinical trials on affects of emotions on HIV. Many doctors claim that our emotional state of mind and stress levels, weigh heavily on our CD4 counts. Laughter has been documented to lower your blood pressure and heart rate by several points. ❤
Having said that, do you appreciate a good joke, are you one to crack a joke at a party or laugh at a joke. Or do you scowl at jokes?
No judgments, just an open dialogue, to talk about humor.😂🤣😅😅🤣😐🤨😡

I had an ingrown boil that finally broke loose. Now it's leaking. Since there is an open wound I can't wear deodorant (deodorants say not to use on broken skin), and I am now getting a rash. What have you done for the rash and the odor?
