Important Progress In Hiv Treatment, Also Curse Of Propecia

Updated

These are much safer than prior HIV combination therapy medications. Less liver and kidney toxicity and less bone calcium catabolism causing osteomalacia. Also, another choice for those that can't tolerate other anti HIV meds. It's once a day and we are blessed to finally get to this point. Since we don't have a vaccine and it's sexually transmitted, HiV potentially effects every sexually active person on the planet. A milestone in the long and winding life with HIV. I survived the AIDS holocaust. At it's peak we were taking 10 bodies per day down to the morgue at the hospital where I worked. At age 22, just out of Nursing School the epidemic started and when co workers began to die., the evidence was overwhelming I would too. My MD sent me as a last ditch hope to a researcher that was evaluating the one and only anti retroviral drug available. At my second visit the nice lady told me my T cells weren't high enough to qualify for the study. The HIV diagnostics hadn't been invented yet and we didn't have a name or a reason why people were dying. I was the only Male RN survivor over the next 3 years out of 12 co workers. I took care of all of them except a very good friend because I just couldn't see him suffer. My roommate was dying too and I was taking care of him. All the while waiting to fall ill. In the Senate a bigoted homophobe republican lawmaker who's name isn't worth saying threatened Gay healthcare workers with immediate unemployment. I pray no one ever has to live through my reality with the pandemic., working at ground zero with a killer inside your body ready to take your life at any time. I was a lucky one indeed although the mental trauma was nearly unbearable. It made me stronger and able to survive something much more insidious later on. Stay tuned.
