Have You Ever Told Anyone About Your HIV Status And They Kept Your Secret?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Grove City, OH

I've found that anyone I tell other than professionals has to tell someone and then someone else tells someone else. My ex went through my whole phone book telling the world about me.

A myHIVteam Member

Are You A Caregiver? Or Do You Have A Caregiver?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Caregiving is very much underappreciated. It could be a daunting task depending on each individual situation.
How do you feel taking care of another person or if you are the person being taken care of, how does that make you feel?

A myHIVteam Member

Never been good at being a patient. I try. I like to do for others though . I can do my part but I'm no nurse. I think nurses are the best.

Gracious Good Day. I should say at an early age, either 5 or 6, Billy Graham was having a Crusade in Philly. Dad's work was on strike so he had taken the back seat out of the car to deliver phone… read more

Any Other BISEXUAL Men Out

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Deerfield Beach, FL

CALLING ALL BI MEN
Because we have a foot in both the straight AND gay community BISEXUAL men have faced a higher level of stigma for having HIV. Then add the fact we were already being maligned, told we don’t exist and that we just need to ‘Pick a side’ has been devastating to those of us who are identify as bisexual. As a carrier for the HIV virus, bi men are accused of bringing HIV from the gay to the straight community
And things have not changed that much for the better. Recently I… read more

Seasonal Depression

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

During the darker, colder, cloudier winter months, many people suffer from seasonal depression. My question is during these months when the sun does finally come out and shine, how do you take advantage of it? Does it change your mood for the day? Do you seem happier?

A myHIVteam Member

i have this - i can combat the effects with 5000k light bulbs (they are cheaper than the Florescence that are prescribed) and work just as well - 20 - 30 minutes a day - its not perfect but it helps !

Descovy Or Truvada?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Costa Mesa, CA

Reading up on side effects of Descovy and really considering asking my Dr. to go back to Truvada. Weight gain, higher cholesterol, and cardiovascular problems are all a side effect along with kidney damage . I think I'd prefer the kidney damage I was getting with Truvada...than the 30# I've gained since on Desovy and my cholesterol numbers are really elevated. My kidney numbers have improved. Seems to me your just trading which part of your body you'd rather damage. Am I missing something… read more
