What do you think about states essentially forcing teachers and students back into the classroom in the fall and what (it any) do you think the impact on public health will be?

HIV in the US can be properly managed with drugs and the average life expectancy isn't that much lower then average these days as long as you keep up with your medication. These days if you contract HIV at 20 your life expectancy is early 70s compared to the average life expectancy in the US of 78. And it's not the handful of pills with tons of side effects like it used to be, it's one pill a day.

I just wanted to thank you for the work you do. My mother-in-law passed away quite suddenly and unexpectedly a week ago and one of the ICU nurses also did palliative care. He did his best to comfort us and make her passing a peaceful experience. Do you have any words for families that had to make the decision to withdraw medical care?

Of course, I see you all over the Pittsburgh subreddit and I’m letting a stranger park in my garage while they bike the GAP for the next week because everything you do inspired me to do a little too.
