Blood Tests
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
I’m going to a wedding on Sunday and probably will have 5 or 6 alcoholic drinks at the event. 2 days later on Tuesday I’m getting my blood drawn to check my blood results it’s been 4 months since my last test.Will the alcohol from Sunday affect my viral load or cd 4 counts results? I know biktarvy does not have any negative interactions with alcohol but just pondering whether alcohol will skew my viral load cd4 count levels on top of my liver enzymes etc. any thoughts?

What Would You Say To The Person Who Infected You
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
If you can confront or have confronted the person who infected you what would you say to them in person if anything.
