In June of 2023 I went public with the fact I have HIV and AIDS, the result of unfaithfulness by my husband of 35 years.

So why did I go public with a diagnosis that carries such great stigma and pain? There are a few reasons and I know this will ...

HIV stands for the human immunodeficiency virus, a virus that weakens your immune system. It infects white blood cells of your immune system called CD4 cells, or helper T cells. As it progresses it destroys CD4 cells, causing your white blood cell count to drop. This leaves you with an immune system that can’t fight off infections, even those that wouldn’t normally make you sick. When your T-ce...

This is a hard video for me to make but I believe knowledge has power. HIV has a timeline and knowing it will help guide you as you get treatment. Let's talk about aging with HIV. As difficult as the topic is I'll share research I've found helpful but I'm also going to tell you what it's like to personally live with HIV and AIDS.

Is HIV an automimmune disease?

Переглядів 566Рік тому

This can be so confusing but I hope this video will help! What is an autoimmune disease? When someone has an autoimmune disease, their immune system mistakenly attacks their own healthy cells and tissues. But unlike when a healthy immune system attacks something that can cause harm-like a virus-theirs never calls off the attack. AIDS is primarily caused by the HIV virus, which attacks and destr...
