Bimonthly Injection

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Ive said before many times, the United States is far behind in HIV care
While the United States has just approved a monthly injection, I have noted Europe was doing a bimonhly study
The United Kindom (in Europe) has approved the first bimonhly injection.
The United States was behind the ball with U=U for 3 years.
The United States was behind in studying a monthly injection.
The United States is now behind in a bimonthly injection.

For Those Who Have Children And Grand Children. Have You Explained And Talked To Them About Having HIV? And How Did You Do It?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii

I have found my self that after explaining to my children, when they were still in high school, and now my grandchildren who are at the age of comprehension, that when I sat and explained to them what Grandpa has they will sit and listen intently and have the look of concern on their faces. The intent I am trying to convey to them is it is okay to have this condition (HIV) because I can manage it with the medicines, the doctor looks at my blood, and I have friends with the same thing who support… read more

How Many Of You Are Enrolled In "Smart 911?"

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

This question is for Canadians and Americans. Other countries will have different emergency numbers, and may or may not participate in this
If an emergency came up and you couldn't talk to the 911 operators, are you prepared to give them all your information without talking to them
Smart 911 will come across the dispatchers screen with your name, number and address just like landlines will. But smart 911 goes farther. You can put a description of yourself and a photo. You can add family… read more

I think only for Canadian students? Here is California we have CODE RED

Should Mental Health Be Studied And Addressed With HIV Infection?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Do you suffer from anxiety, depression fear, anger …etc.? Has HIV prompted this or made it worse?
Do you think our primary care physicians and HIV facilities should look into short and long term effects on mental health with HIV infection?
Do you think it should be treated as a serious problem?

A myHIVteam Member

The “obvious” answer is yes.

As we grow older our libido lessens. Trials have proven that HIV in the long-term does lessen our sex drive.
Is sex important to you in your current relationship? Does it play a factor when dating?

A myHIVteam Member

I don't know. I'll be 60 next year and I still… 🍆 on a regular basis…. anyway!! That's probably why I now care for other people's dogs. Keeps my heart & mind and most of my time occupied on what's… read more
