Do You Actually Know How To Take Your HIV Medication?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Have you ever read the pamphlet on your medications?
Some medications you can just take them without food.
Other medications you have to take them with food.
for the medications that you have to take with food do you know what kind of food you have to eat to make that drug work at its maximum?
Did you know that some HIV medications work better when you eat fatty foods?
It's important to read those pamphlets that come with the medications then you know how to actually take your medications.

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
3) Even though the U=U study has proven that if undetectable, you can not pass the virus on, the key phrase is, "YOU CAN'T… read more

Three Wishes

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

If a genie knocked on your door and said I’m here to give you three wishes however the genie says I can’t take away your HIV or cure it. But all other wishes will be granted. What would you ask for? My first wish would be can you make everyone with hiv not be sad or depressed. My second wish would be can you get rid of the stigma that comes with my disease.and my last wish will be Im giving it to someone on this site who might need the wish more then me🥹

A myHIVteam Member

I can handle my HIV infection. My partner could benefit from a genie correcting 1)psoriatic arthritis 2)immobility 3)incontinence. They are our 3 horsemen of the apocalypse.🧎🏼🧑🏻‍🦽🧑🏾‍🦼

Bakersfield, CA

I've noticed that some + people here were very hung up on dating and they seem to have a preference to negative people. Is that common? Or is + a plus when it comes to dating because you have commonalities? This is just a question..

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Do you believe in existence in another realm? Have you ever had a strange experience happen to you that you can not explain? Let's hear your stories, personal experiences or nonbelief views.

How Are You Doing Being A Senior Living As A Long Term Survivor?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Seattle, WA

I just turned 71. Like some of you have lived practically half my life with an HIV diagnosis. For me it is very hard and isolating. My life partner and I split years ago, and I haven't trusted or really wanted to get into another relationship. Got really hurt, and don't want to go through that again. My only surviving family is my sister and her brood who take advantage of my being Gay with HIV, so had to cut ties with them. I also feel it is my responsibility to carry the torch for all… read more
