April is here. I hope it turns out to be easier than March. This will be another short post. We have to head out soon for an appointment. Yet another early morning. I hope these wind down a bit. I don't handle mornings well.
That's all for now. Hello April, be nice.

It's the end of March. This was a tiring month & there's still things left to do. I haven't been feeling well & this morning's been rough. I'm trying not to get really sick. Mornings have been hard.
I saw a couple of articles like this piece. Gilead is refusing to sell MSF (Doctors WIthout Borders) their long lasting prevention medication lenacapavir. No reason has been given. This is not a good look for the drug company.
The other article I saw was about being 50+ & living with HIV. These articles have yet to impress me. They usually detail the same issues anyone over 50 would face, then add HIV. None I've read so far have been that informative.
That's all for now, Goodbye March.

This is going to be another busy morning. It has been for almost a week & will continue to be for a bit. I need to shower & go shop. My roomie has an appointment that a friend is taking her to. It's just a timing issue with things. All of this while I'm just trying to wake up & function.
That's all for now, take care.

According to this piece, ViiV has a new long acting medication in phase 1 research. The piece doesn't go into much detail other than obscurely listed 2 drugs in the new medication. VH184 is list as an integrase inhibitor. VH499 is listed a capsid inhibitor.
At this point, there isn't much more known about the medication. It's aimed to be another long acting medication, usually twice a year. Another biannual med on the market could move these drugs to the forefront of treatment & drive down costs due to competition.
That's all for now, take care.

For a long time now, I've been very tired, borderline sick from something or another. But things kept coming. Every time, I thought I could catch up a bit, something new popped up. I don't think I can do this much longer.
This has been a hard month, especially this week. Everything has been trying, demanding & needing to be handled. For the most part, it has been, but there's still more needing done. There always is.
This last week was harder than I expected. It had to happen, but that doesn't change how difficult it turned out to be. I've been exhausted since Wednesday. We had to head out early for a thing my roomie had. Every time estimate we were given was wrong. I was there hours longer than I should've been. By the time I got home, I was spent.
There's still more to handle & I don't have much I can do. I'm just too frazzled to manage more. Maybe in a week or so, if things calm down, I can do more again. But not now.
The chill & pollen aren't helping any. Take care.

The last weekend of March looks to be dark & colder. It's gloomy this morning & it might rain. Benefit renewals are in process. My roomie is home from her appointment.
I saw 2 articles (A & B) on suppressing HIV without meds. Both pieces detailed an approach to handling HIV with antibodies & T-Cells. This is a direction researchers have been looking at for a while. At this moment it isn't widely viable. This could lead to a new primary treatment of HIV & head away from traditional medications.
That's it for now, take care.
