Notifications

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Is anybody else having problems with their "view all notifications" link either on mobile or the computer? As of April 2, I am unable to view all my notifications at once. I can only view them singly. Anybody else having this problem? If not, it must just be my phone and computer (Both Google products).

How Does One Become An HIV Educational Speaker To Our Younger Generation?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Lately, I have been thinking about being an HIV speaker, educational speaker, or something of that sort. I think I would love to teach the truth about HIV, get the education out there, reduce the stigma, especially to our young people, preferably high school kids
The problem is I do not know how to begin such a journey, or where I could get such information or even how to get started. I believe once I got my foot in the door, things will get easier, but it is opening that door in the first… read more

Prescriptions

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

HIV therapies are a must to keep the virus in check. Keeping the time you take your pill(s) at the same time everyday will help keep you at an undetectable level. Besides taking your HIV regimen​ religiously every day, do you tend to lag behind on any other medications you take? I take my HIV pill at 8pm every night. But my neurapathy pill, inflammatory pills, lung medication I tend to lack on sometimes. I have alarms set to take my meds, but sometimes I just don't take them. BESIDES your HIV… read more

Lipodystrophy

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Ruston, LA

When I was diagnosed with AIDS last year (July '17) I weighed 150 lbs. Since then I have gained almost 50 lbs. I watched a video on Poz.com about lipodystrophy and I'm wondering if that is what is happening with me.

I have other health issues which keeps me from serious exercise but I do walk 6-10 miles a day for several months and still have not been able to lose more than 6 lbs. I have even improved my diet to add more protein and cut down on carbs and sugars.

Shortly after I began seeing… read more

My coworkers love me. Everyone wants to work with me
I have this coworker though, that nobody wants to work with. All they do is complain, complain, complain, complain and complain about every little thing
