Is This All There Is?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
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. Wouldn’t it makes sense for all scientists,pharmaceutical companies etc to now spend all their effort to find a cure. In 15 years from now biktarvy,dovato will lose there patents and these pills will me made by many different companies in generic form which will drop the price for these drugs dramatically?no longer will they be… read more

@A myHIVteam Member. My NP, who has a PhD in immunology, said that although it was thought that acyclovir was effective against HIV, that has been shown to be untrue. He said that he took many of his… read more

Cure Or No Cure

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

HIV has come a long way from the 80s and 90s. And yes I know many will live a normal lifespan albeit challenging. However do you really believe the science or the scientific community will ,which includes our drug companies that are keeping us alive really find a cure.i read a lot and im extremely hopeful but hiv is such an insidious virus that is exceptionally good invading and hiding in our bodies. Is anyone hopeful that in our lifetime we will be cured and by that I mean no more medication… read more

Un Enfermero Me Comentó Que Si Tengo Sexo Sin Protección Con Otra Persona Que Tenga VIH Me Puede Dañar Por Qué Quisas Sean Diferentes Tipos.

A nurse told me that if I have sexual relations with another HIV positive person, he could mutate and become stronger and that I should be careful.

Me dijo un enfermero que si tengo relaciones sexuales con otro vhi positivo este podría mutar y hacerse más fuerte y que debía tener cuidado.

Hey I was with guys that were hiv positive we wore condoms because I knew they weren't protecting theirselves

A Cure Is Slipping Away

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

The 2024 international conference on AIDS was bleak to say the least. It ended last week and was disappointing. I truly believe now that a cure of any kind will not happen in my lifetime and I’m sad. One of the promising things i hoped for was the CRISPR gene editing therapy which was a total failure. The first human trial of EPT-101 showed that all participants who were in this trial ,then stopped there ARV medications mainly biktarvy and dovato .showed that there viral load after only a few… read more

Remembering Ryan White. Today Is The Anniversary Of Ryan's Death.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Looking back during this time, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think today, but looking back to the time, did you think Ryan was treated fairly? Was people justified to be scared back then?
You can be honest, nobody is going to attack you. Things have changed and so has most people.
So, what was your thoughts on Ryan's treatment BACK THEN. AGAIN, 🚫 NOT 🚫 what you think 💬 🤔 today, but what you thought back then.

Why Believe Dr. Anthony Fauci?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Hull, MA

As we are still alive because of Dr. Fauci with his incredible work with AIDS & HIV. Developing daily meds with the big Pharmaceuticals that have helped us stay alive taking a pill a day, (which is individual and different for each of us), I just want to give a shout out to thank him, and glad that he is on the "team" to figure it all out. A brilliant Doctor who's always ahead of the game.

So, my family - do you have confidence in Dr. Fauci or support our President with his philosophy that… read more

Does Anyone Double Up On Their HIV ARTs On Date Night?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Athens, GA

A friend told me that he doubles up on his HIV meds on date night since he doesn't use condoms.
Any advice?

@A myHIVteam Member. The drugs are improving as well. Other than cancer which is really many diseases, there is a greater variety in HIV medications than for any other condition. And new types of… read more

Promises Promises

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

This is for anyone but especially the older ones who’ve been living with HIV for a long time . How many times have you heard a cure is just around the corner or a vaccine is promising. And will be available soon. I love the latest news on HIV development but get disappointed every time they say a cure is on the horizon. If you could take an educated guess on when a cure or vaccine will be available what is your time frame.im 58 so im saying i will drop dead before a cure or vaccine. 😵‍💫😵‍💫🙄🙃

A myHIVteam Member

@A myHIVteam Member. You already have antibodies to HIV yourself. Testing HIV+ is a lab for the presence or absence of those antibodies. Rarely are they enough to keep HIV in check.

The evolution… read more
