The U=U Study.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

1) This should/may be a hot topic, please be conciderate to all
2) I see many people on this site refer to the U=U study and how HIV can not be passed along. They think they are still safe to have unprotected sex, because they are undetectable. The answer to that is NO, you are not safe to have unprotected sex. You can still get other STI's, but let's stick to just HIV

Do You Have At Least One Month, Or More, Of Meds Stocked Up For An Emergency?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Let's face it, emergencies happen. Insurance gets dropped, paperwork isn't filed on time, maybe an error on paperwork. There could be a blizzard, tornado, hurricane, or earthquake making your medicine inaccessible. Maybe you kept reminding yourself to refill your meds and you didn't do it soon enough. Do you have extra medicine to get you by until you can get your next refill?

A myHIVteam Member

VA pays for all my meds, no copay

Some medications you can just take them without food.
Other medications you have to take them with food.
