Several factors are threatening the ongoing fight against HIV, much of it is due to republicans. This 1st piece's topic has been in the news for weeks. Because of cuts to medicaid & HIV programs, many states are scaling back their assistance programs. This cost many their coverage & meds.
Due to ICE, people, even US citizens, are avoiding places that could put them in contact with the agency. This article covers how it's impacting treatment in some communities.
This last piece is about people with HIV in Ethiopia, especially adolescents & young adults (AYA). It shows that women carry a higher burden when it comes to HIV, yet the research is on them is much lower than that concerning males. This may be about Ethiopia, but the same issue regarding women has been prevalent in many studies. This has been an ongoing complaint against current research studies & standards.
On to my morning. This morning is dark, wet & fairly yuck. I'm achy & tired. It figures the 1st several days after the time change would be miserable storm BS. I need sunlight. My jolty morning are ramping up & leaving a depleted mess. SAD shouldn't last into March. It did last year & I'm hoping this isn't a thing from now on.
Wow, 3 articles in a single post. But they're all about how we're failing in the fight against HIV. The weather is screwing my DST. Plus there's still everyday crap to deal with. So, yeah, March is being just peachy.
Take care.
Cya...
