Who Believes In Aliens / Extraterrestrials?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

There is too much to type in this limited box, so I will end up having to type more in the comment box
We here on Earth are searching for life on other planets, but have not had any luck, so far. We have found potential planets that may harbor life
What if though, other civilizations are looking for us and we missed the chance? For instance, maybe life on another advanced planet doesn't think life exists here on Earth, because we have H2O for water and breathe oxygen.
I mean, maybe on… read more

Last night, my partner was watching UFO Cowboys. It seemed ridiculous to me. No offense intended.

Later, we watched a few episodes of the new Shogun on FX. Very well done!

New Brunswick, NJ

Now that the pharmaceutical companies have found a way to keep us alive for 30+ years with a one a day pill,what’s the incentive for them to come up with another pill.

A Lot Of You Know That I ALWAYS Say, "Europe Is Far Ahead In HIV Studies." Here Is A European Study, You Haven't Heard Of. It's About $$$$$.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

One of the studies Europe is doing, I am doing against my doctor's wishes. It's all about $$$$
Here is the newest study Europe is doing: PREP.
Here in the United States, doctors want people to take PREP every day to prevent HIV. Well, in Europe, they have been doing studies that show taking PREP just twice a week is just as effective at protecting you from getting HIV.
Now this study does NOT work for women in the same way, ONLY men.
