Since Your Diagnosis..have People, Family , Friends.. Treated You Differently?

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....
"How are you feeling? "
Sometimes I don't feel like part of the family and my friends don't include me, for fear of me getting sick?!!🤨
I've grown accustomed to this,.. which is why I sought out this group💕
How has your experience been?

Cleaning Reusable Face Mask

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

For those of you who wear the reusable face mask and not the disposable, how do you clean your mask?
Do you:
1) Put them in the washing machine?
2) Wash them by hand?
3) Boil them?
4) Wash them in the dishwasher?
I have just been washing them in my washing machine, but today I decided to boil them on the stove top. Tomorrow I might try putting them in the dishwasher. So, how do you clean yours?

A myHIVteam Member
