[QUOTE="vripley, post: 28633, member: 12606"] Hi. I'm a 48 YO male who has been experiencing many symptoms of low T. I'm also a long-term HIV+ hemophiliac (bad blood 30+ years ago). I'm an inspirational speaker, published author, and certified personal trainer who races in long bicycle rides and triathlons. I use weight lifting to cross-train and give benefits related to bleeding issues in my joints. I weigh 180 pounds (down 14 pounds over the last two years). I'm 6 feet tall. And, my neck is 15.25 inches. Thanks to my recent studying of books, web information, and this forum, I think I am prepared to discuss TRT with my doctor. A local endocrinologist office said they need a referral, so I will see my PCP tomorrow.
