Now that was a stupid question.
Since I have am HIV+,and waiting on my blood test to come back is my sex life over with either vaginal/anal intercourse or can I use pretection and still have some sex?
is there a reason that you do not ask these questions to your doctor? we do not have any idea what kind of tests your doctor has ordered.
Because you didn't have the correct tests to begin with.
I have HIV-Positive, I am waiting on a blood test to come back, why do you think they took another blood test? are the trying to find out how far along I am with the HIV and what medication they are going to give me. I have read that just because I am HIV-postive and if I take my medication I may never have fully blown Aids and I stay healthy is that correct if you know.
Foods have nothing to do with your CD4 count and don't take supplements unless your ID doctor advises you to.
Good to see you are at work, I have both, I am retired from the ARMY. hope the VA will supply me with the medication. Teak could be real soon and I know it depend on my health, just trying to get and idea.
Is there any foods that I can eat that will help to keep my CD4 Cel(T-cell) strong also?
You'll wait until your CD4 drops and your body is having a hard time fight the infection. Do you have a good job and good insurance? You'll need it. Meds run from 800 to 1400 a month.
Teak you are one of the best guys on this site for giving me advice. So if I am HIV-Postive why don't they start me off with medication now while my CD4 Cell are strong, I hope, so what will you think they may do, have me wait until I get really sick? I know your aren't a doctor but you have been through a lot yourself. Thanks
If you were just diagnosed for a recent infection you won't be put on any medications.
To answer you question, since I talked to you last the VA called me up and took 8 to 9 bottles of blood from me. I guess they are trying to see what is wrong with me and what kind of medication they will put me on. Once I talk to them, I will have another test taken, I was reading, dang some many articles on HIV and its seem the western blot is the best.I really don't know.
I was just wonder how many different pills do you think I will have to take? Plus to it effect older people more than young people? I am trying so hard to not be scared about this whole thing, I do appreciate all the advice and help that I have received from all of you. If I didn't have someone to talk to, I think I would have ended my life the other day, but I'm trying to keep a clear head and not think about it. I do appreciate all your help at least I have someone to talk to. Thanks
Have you went back and taken the proper tests?
Can you answer the first two questions I have asked, you and the other have been so help, I am feeling alittle better, just scared like hell until I go back to the doctor. Thanks
