There wasn't much for articles, but I found these, A & B. The prior piece details Gilead's currently ongoing research over prevention & cures. Both pieces discuss research from Gilead & Merck concerning a weekly pill for HIV treatment. Neither are long, but contain updates on the process.
Yesterday was hot again. I didn't fair well. It's not supposed to be as hot today. The days are hard, but it's the hot nights that are doing me in.
That's all for now, take care.

tRump's maga has declared a culture war on anything they see as DEI. They will use it justify harming anyone or anything. Unfortunately that included the war on HIV. These cuts aren't just to PEPFAR & other overseas projects. They include domestic programs for awareness, testing, treatment & prevention.
maga's actions could very well lead to a reality where HIV is as dangerous as it was decades ago. These people's actions aren't out of some profound need to protect themselves from some imaginary boogeyman. These directives are meant cause harm, mayhem, degradation & even death. maga is vile.
My hope is that every single person who supported this movement gets this illness & has no means of dealing with it. Let them & theirs know the horrors of what unmitigated HIV can be. They deserve it.
That's all for now. Take care.

This piece is a statement from a senior VP from ViiV Healthcare. It's a plan to embrace decades of research, development & patient input to develop the future of HIV/AIDS treatment with the endgame of ending the virus.
The focus is on long acting injectables (LAI). Some for prevention, others for treatment. They could come in varying injection intervals. This isn't a cure, it's a siege war against HIV. If the virus can't spread & is contained in those currently HIV+, it will either die out with those patients or be handled if a cure ever is developed.
Like all things with HIV, this is now & will continue to be in development, striving to be the best approach possible. Again, this isn't a cure, but it's a solid step to ending HIV.
Give this a read. Take care.

Yesterday was rougher than expected. I didn't expect an easy day after handling some yard stuff in the morning. But it turned out to be harder than I thought. I never do well after yard work of any kind, but spraying is the usually the worst of it for me. It got hotter & a lot more humid than it was supposed. All of that drained me & kept me in the bathroom a lot. I won't be doing much today except trying to stay cooler.
That's about it for now, take care.

I haven't been feeling that great for the last couple of days. It's mostly been allergies, stomach & bathroom stuff. Sometimes being in a car for a while can set me system off & I'll be in the bathroom all day. Add to that all the burning, roadwork & humidity & my stomach was sort of doomed.
Yesterday was big shopping for the week. It's always a little more tiring. We ate at place we hadn't in a while. It'd changed hands & wasn't as good. It'll get another try & that may be it. It's too pricey to be meh to yick.
Later everyone got mowed, including us. The yard needed it, but it didn't help me out any. I felt off for the rest of the night.
Edges of the yard needed sprayed. It's about to get seriously hot. I got myself to handle it this morning. It is probably the only thing I'm doing today. It may be the 1 thing I do all weekend. It knocked me down pretty hard.
That's all for, take care. I hate grass.

Things didn't go as they were hoped for yesterday. My roomie will need to handle more with her current medical situation. Between that & a dental appointment, things are going to be busier than normal for the next several weeks. It seems we seldom get our preferences an more.
We'll go shopping in a bit & handle a couple of errands. After that, we should be done for the day. It's supposed to get hot this weekend. It is July.
That's it for now, take care.

In a bit of a hurry this morning. We have to be out of here soon. My roomie has an appointment. Not a problem, but I had some stuff to handle & of course other things had to try to pile on. Other stuff is just going to have to wait a bit.
There's been a reprieve from the heat, but not the humidity. By Saturday, the Summer temps will return. It'd be nice to ditch the humidity, but that probably won't happen.
That's it for, take care.
