Given The Opportunity, Would You Be Willing To Volunteer In A Clinical Trial For An HIV/AIDS Cure?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Clinical trials are administered in various ways. They can be using medication, intravenously, transfusion, stem cell replacemen etc....There is no cost incurred to the patient and a reimbursement for the day is usually allotted. All expenses are usually covered by the administrating practice. Patients must meet the qualifications of the clinical trial. At-risk patients will not qualify for these trials. The patients' health is number one in these trials and is monitored very closely. ❤️

A myHIVteam Member

Yes absolutely.

Long Term Survivor Check In:

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Seattle, WA

Just wanted to get a consensus how long term survivors are doing in general. Health, getting enough support, relations with family and friends, encountering any stigmas. I've lived with HIV half my life, diagnosed with HIV in 1987. I am having issues with all of the above. It is hard finding a place to fit in.

Anyone else experiencing this?

A myHIVteam Member

A long-term survivor shared their experience in the knowledge base. Diagnosed in 1985, they were initially told they had only two years to live. Over 35 years later, they are still thriving, thanks to… read more

Geneva, IL

With many antivirals and treatments coming up the pipeline , inevitably there will be treatments and trials here in the United States and abroad regarding the treatment and cure of HIV and other diseases like cancer.

If A Twice YEARLY (every 6 Months) Treatment Was Available, Would You Take It?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Now that in the past 2 years the United States has went from a monthly shot to bimonthly shot for HIV treatment, long after Europe approved it, would you take a biyearly shot
As I always mention, Europe is ALWAYS ahead of the United States in HIV care. Europe has now approved a biyearly (every 6 months) HIV treatment. Right now, it is only available for people who have no other options because of medication resistance. Again, as usual, Europe is leading the way in HIV care. This is why I follow… read more

New Infor For People With HIV Receiving The Covid Vaccine:

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Seattle, WA

https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/inside-...(Phone number can only be seen by myHIVteam users)

AIDS Advocacy groups are protesting the companies producing the vaccine for not including persons with HIV into trials. Currently 1.2 million people in America are living with HIV/AIDS. I read one company, however, included 120 persons with HIV in a trial including 30,000 I believe. Out of those 120, one was placebo, the others got the vaccine and had no problems. But the jury is still out… read more
