I know a lot of folks living with HIV are worried about coronavirus.
It's understandable. Everything is crazy right now.
We are learning more about it daily.
We are hearing stories about people getting sick and dying.
It's ok to be anxious and nervous about it.

It's already enough living with HIV. Any fever, sniffle, or rash can cause panic and concern.
It's scary. All of it.
But you know what?
We know a good amount about COVID-19. There are good resources where you can empower yourself.

@pozmagazine has detailed articles on coronavirus and what you need to know if you're living with HIV.
So read as much as you can.
Ask questions when you have them.
Don't think that just because you have HIV you are going to get coronavirus.

You may be at greater risk. But there are things you can do:
1. Take care of your mental health
2. Take your HIV meds
3. Keep up to date with your flu and pneumonia vaccinations
4. Sleep, drink water, eat healthy
5. Practice physical distancing
6. Stay socially connected
