A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

I've noticed that since my diagnosis, friends and family are not around as much as they used to. They don't call as often or check up on me and when they do it's usually....

Given The Opportunity, Would You Be Willing To Volunteer In A Clinical Trial For An HIV/AIDS Cure?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Clinical trials are administered in various ways. They can be using medication, intravenously, transfusion, stem cell replacemen etc....There is no cost incurred to the patient and a reimbursement for the day is usually allotted. All expenses are usually covered by the administrating practice. Patients must meet the qualifications of the clinical trial. At-risk patients will not qualify for these trials. The patients' health is number one in these trials and is monitored very closely. ❤️
