The Link Between Ziagen and Heart AttacksA few months ago, I heard about a study that found Ziagen (abacavir, one of the HIV meds in Epzicom [abacavir/3TC, Kivexa] and Trizivir [AZT/3TC/abacavir]), might increase a person's risk of having a heart attack. Has any new research on the risks of Ziagen become available since the study came out? How Can I Get Rid of Diarrhea and Bloating?I am currently taking Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) + Truvada (tenofovir/FTC) and my CD4 count has gone from 60 to 320 in three years, while my viral load is undetectable. However, I have gut problems -- diarrhea and bloating -- at least twice a week. Are there any studies of gut side effects that I could join? Should I switch meds?

• LIVING WITH HIVWill HIV Affect the Way I Age?I'm 21, and I was diagnosed with HIV last fall. I'm wondering what I should expect in the long term. Am I at risk for the same health problems that all people are likely to develop as they get older, or are there special problems I need to watch for because I have HIV? How Can I Revive My Sex Drive?I'm a 47-year-old man diagnosed with HIV four years ago, and my sex drive is nearly nonexistent. I'm taking many meds, including Atripla (efavirenz/tenofovir/FTC), two antidepressants and the testosterone supplement Androgel. What can I do to get my libido back? Health Insurance Tips for a Pos RetireeI'm 52 years old and in excellent health after living with HIV for 23 years. I want to retire next year, but I'm not sure what my options are in terms of medical insurance. How can I determine what sorts of policies I'm eligible for, what they will cover and how much it will all cost?
