Feb. 13-19, 2012: It's Valentine's week. That may be as good an excuse as any to notice those positive energies in the air. Your thoughts may be clearer than they've been in a while, so you think; but Neptune recently moved into Pisces. Take time to see what's real and what's not. Is that flush passion or the flu? Be patient. Love is in the air, even though that rosy glow you're feeling may not be quite as clear as you wish it were. Keep a level head as best you can, and enjoy the energy itself. Will it last?...

Q: I have been living with HIV since 2007, and have been on HAART treatment for 2 years now (Stocrin & Combivir). But I am having problems with my platelet count, which has been low since I was diagnosed. This was the reason why I had to start on HAART treatment (I'm feeling better now). Here's my question: I have friends who have been taking glutathione supplements (for skin as well as for an immune booster), but will taking it interfere with my HAART treatment or affect my platelet count? Thank you for your help. A: Hopefully your platelet count...

Feb. 6-12, 2012: If you're feeling somewhere between a whole lot of frustration and depression and the weight of the world on your shoulders, you're not alone. Whether it's people or situations that have been driving you mad, face the facts: this kind of energy is clearly not a good place to be. No excuses needed, you could be feeling this way just because you got up on the wrong side of the bed. The best thing you can do this week is head for the gym and concentrate on weight lifting and anything else that will tire you to...

Q: I just read that Cynthia Nixon of 'Sex and the City' fame was recently quoted as saying she's 'choosing' to be gay. That statement infuriates me, as I know for a fact I didn't 'choose' to be gay, and this just gives the extreme religious types more ammunition in this argument. How should I respond when I get the 'gay is a choice' argument, I'd rather not quote Lady Gaga's 'Born This way" if at all possible. A: Respond by agreeing. You are choosing. But the choice is not one of sexual orientation, it is one of sexual behavior...
