Check out these hot topics at The Body's Ask the Expert forums:
Forum on HIV and the Workplace How do I handle the pre-employment physical exam? I've been HIV-positive for 10 years, and have started feeling frequently ill over the past few months. My boss, however, makes it extremely hard for me to feel comfortable taking any time off. What should I do? Forum on Starting Treatment Is Trizivir a good choice for first-time treatment? A recent article in POZ magazine questions the value of protease inhibitors. Do you agree? Living With HIV I'm a professional athlete who recently contracted HIV and developed anemia. HAART is working wonders, but I'm worried: Can I still hope to maintain the same active lifestyle I led before becoming infected? Forum on Women/Pregnancy and HIV Is having a baby despite being HIV positive a dumb idea? Are anti-HIV medications known to cause any birth defects?		Forum on Medication Side Effects and Interactions Is nevirapine known to cause liver problems? Is there any merit to some people's claims that HAART is too dangerous -- that the side effects are far worse than HIV itself? What's the deal with papaya: does it interact with any anti-HIV meds? Forum on Lipodystrophy and Wasting If I'm taking Oxandrin and Megace for weight gain, why am I not gaining weight? Is there anything I can do to counter facial wasting and adrenal insufficiency? Forum on Cancer and HIV My pap smear results said I had "atypical cells." What does that mean, and what should I do about it? Is it safe for a post-Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma patient to go on a structured treatment interruption? How can I tell if I have Kaposi's sarcoma? Off the Beaten Trail Do you have any advice for an HIV-positive man seeking breast enlargement? Can an HIV-positive person be cured by exposing his or her blood to ultraviolet light? Can I get HIV from a punching bag at a Kung Fu class?
