Living With HIV / Khan Academy Immunology Videos
« Last post by Jmarksto on Yesterday at 11:41:07 PM »
I have been a big fan of the Khan Academy, but just recently watched some of the immunology video lessons and found them to be very good at explaining the basics of how the immune system works -- and of course the Khan Academy is free and does not require registration, logging in, etc.

Best,

Living With HIV / Re: Good news labs and kidneys
« Last post by GSOgymrat on Yesterday at 11:39:50 PM »
My PCP sent me to a nephrologist last month due to elevated creatinine.  Normal range is 0.6 - 1.3 and mine is 1.5. Long story short, after various tests the only thing that indicates something is wrong with my kidneys is the creatinine level, which has been elevated for at least 8 years and has actually gone down a bit. The nephrologist is attributing this elevated level to my muscle mass and side effects from my HIV meds. He recommended continued monitoring, do not change my meds and don't take NSAIDs on a regular basis.

Congrats on your labs!

Estoy infectado? / Re: Sexo oral

Hay un riesgo sexualmente solamente si hay la presencia de semen o liquido durante la copula vaginal o anal sin usando un condon.

Cojelo sencillo, Joel. No es una cosa complicada.

Living With HIV / Re: Worries....

I'm sure if given the option a dying person would rather have a HIV positive person perform CPR on them if the alternative is dying. 

What are you afraid of? You cannot give someone hiv by performing CPR on them even in the worst of circumstances. 

Not only that, why would you ever, ever, have to disclose you are hiv positive to someone you have give CPR to? You can't transmit hiv that way, you do know that right?

Unless I completely misread your post, which I think I did.  Regardless I hope this has nothing to do with your hiv status.  Take the CPR class, you might actually enjoy it and who knows, maybe it will open up a whole new field of interest and maybe you will want to become a paramedic, nurse, or other medical professional.  Think of the possibilities. 

Ps. The chances of a bone breaking, eh so what, when the alternative is death break some bones.

You guys with your fabulous Winterthurs and Taras have the lux.  Jealous! I got to manage it all on a balcony, 4 window boxes, and some reserve in the common courtyard!

I went summer annual shopping for the window boxes and bought dozens of navy blue petunias. It was 8 pm at the garden center and the petunias were putting out a heavenly scent. I was listening to the groovy new analog Daft Punk. I hear the fushia can smell, but not the one's I found.

i've never worked with so much blue before. I'm going to mix in cascading geraniums in bright true red, and zonal geraniums in fuschia. 

I bought impatiens in candycane red/white stripes, and we don't have the blight here, so I might mix them in as well. But they look like a tall growing variety so I fear they could overwhelm the blue petunias, so I dunno.

Id like to get some mornyglory at all the windows, and moonflowers on the balcony.

I have new climbing white perfumed roses and two, 2-meter banana trees that did well over the winder inside. A Washigton silvery palm, and a new palm not sure what it is, a sort of tree palm, feathery but no thorns.

otra duda, ¿para lograr infección, debe existir presencia de semen o liquido seminal, la persona no eyaculo, por lo tanto el riesgo es nulo???
