Pill Fatigue
When you live with a chronic condition like HIV, meds are usually a daily occurrence. Something that has to be done to prevent further illness and maintain a positive health status. But it's monotonous. Pill fatigue is real. My pill fatigue is more subconscious, which I'll get into later. I consider daily meds like any other daily routine, like brushing my teeth. Sometimes it's a grind, but it has to be done to maintain good health and a good quality of life. Taking my HIV meds was something I did religiously because it's literally lifesaving. It was no big deal to me. Taking a pill for HIV, diabetes, high blood pressure, or just daily vitamins was all the same to me. But for many, pill fatigue is more serious, to the point they may leave their treatment and take 'pill holidays.' That's where you take a break from taking pills, but it has risks. When you leave HIV treatment, you don't get sick or die immediately. It could take years for the virus to spread and ravage your immune system enough to give opportunistic infections a suitable environment to breed and do damage. Even years away from treatment may not seem abnormal at all. You may feel fine, look fine, and act fine. But your bloodstream is not fine. Your blood is actively at war to save you and losing. As HIV destroys white blood cells that protect you from infection, it becomes more free to breed, and spread throughout your body. It also becomes highly transmissible. Did you catch that last part? And did you catch the implication that meds make the virus untransmittable? Because U=U is a campaign that the advocacy community has been trying to teach people for the last decade. But some have hardened themselves toward HIV and those who live with it, because HIV stigma hasn't changed. Some people still feel fear at the mere mention of HIV. They refuse to accept that HIV is not only treatable, it's completely harmless and untransmittable with effective treatment. But alas, treatment is only effective when taken. As I said, I've had no problem taking meds. But lately, I find myself forgetting to take them. I usually catch it before the day is over, but some of my meds need consistency to be most effective, taken at the same time every day. It could be a serious issue if I continue to forget. I risk my medication losing effectiveness, and that runs the risk of losing access to an entire class of medications. I used to be religious about taking my meds. But over the years, my zeal has diminished. This is what I referred to earlier when I mentioned subconscious pill fatigue (a term I made up). Is that what I'm experiencing? Subconscious pill fatigue? I've taken pills every day for the past 25 years. I didn't think it bothered me, yet I'm forgetting more doses than ever. Am I subconsciously allowing myself to forget? My memory and mental state are certainly factors. Many people who live with HIV develop forgetfulness associated with a neurocognitive decline syndrome, which can happen with HIV. I don't know if I'm experiencing this or just normal aging. But I need to find out. I'm currently working with my doctor to get answers. But forgetting your pills isn't exactly pill fatigue.

The Oura Ring 4 just got its first discount for Prime Day
Smartwatches aren't for everyone. Maybe you don't want to wear a screen-equipped gadget to bed, or you're just after something that's less obtrusive. Subtlety is where smart rings like the Oura Ring 4 shine, and Prime Day has knocked down its cost. It costs $296.65 ($52.35) from Amazon, which is both its best price and first significant discount. The fourth-generation Oura Ring brings a handful of meaningful software upgrades over its predecessor, and it's one of the best smart rings out there. It features an accurate algorithm for tracking heart rate and blood oxygen levels, along with improved automatic activity detection. There's no subscription required to use its basic functions, but a $5.99/month subscription is required to access advanced insights and AI-powered features. The Oura Ring 4 is slimmer and more accurate than its predecessor, while adding new AI-powered tools and longer battery life. Read our review. Elsewhere, the changes are subtle but notable. The ring is now slightly slimmer and rounder, available in a wider range of sizes (from 4 to 15), and made entirely from durable titanium. Battery life has also improved significantly, lasting up to seven or eight days on a single charge, compared to three to four days in previous models. Most importantly, the Oura Ring 4 continues to excel as a sleep and recovery tracker. It also tracks light workouts, stress levels, prediction, menstrual cycles, and other essential health metrics, all while remaining discreet on your finger. Of course, as a smart ring, it doesn't offer some of the advanced fitness tracking features smartwatches do, and you'll have to do without perks like push notifications and smart alarms. But if you're a casual athlete who wants a stylish, screen-free tracker that blends seamlessly into your daily life, the Oura Ring 4 is the best smart ring available — especially while it's on sale.

What are the Health Benefits of Sunshine?
Q: I've heard two conflicting things about sun exposure — that you should avoid it and that it's good for you. What should I believe? For decades, many doctors have said that less is more when it comes to sun exposure. Ultraviolet light from the sun can age the skin and cause skin cancer, and people can get vitamin D from food or supplements instead. But in recent years, some scientists have questioned this thinking after research suggested that moderate sun exposure may, at least in certain contexts, have some benefits. And that vitamin D supplements may not always be a good substitute. 'The 'never go outside without S.P.F. 50' approach treated sun exposure as if it were universally harmful,' said Dr. Lucy McBride, an internal medicine physician in Washington, D.C. But 'moderate, thoughtful sun exposure,' in accordance with your risk factors, she added, 'may offer benefits we're still discovering.' Sunshine has a bright side. It's undeniable that the sun's rays can damage your skin in ways that result in premature skin aging and cancer, said Dr. Elizabeth Ko, an internal medicine physician at UCLA Health who has written about the health effects of sun exposure. But researchers have also identified a handful of potential, if limited, associations between sun exposure and health benefits. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
