Will Prednisone take the perm out of your hair?
Yes it can, prednisone can do a lot of side effects to your body, and your hair is no exception. It is also known for thinning/hair loss as well. Be careful coloring or chemically treating your hair while on any steroid especially prednisone or its affiliates. Everything you eat, etc. will go through your hair, I would try using a clarifying shampoo once a week, and if on a budget use infusium repair/stage 1 shampoo and get a deep conditioning one to two times a week on your hair. If your not on a budget I would suggest Nioxin I have found that Nioxin is a wonderful product, but that only using the shampoo/conditioner may not be fully effective for everyone. When combined with the follicle stimulator everyday it should grow your hair back within 3 months, since normal hair only grows at 1/2 inch per month. It is often recommended to cancer patients during chemo, it can get expensive but depending on the hair thinning/loss or change in the hair it may be worth it.
What is the difference between bulls and steroid implanted steers?
Bulls are able to grow faster and leaner muscle than steers are with natural steriods involving testosterone. Steers with implants are not as able to grow as quick as bulls are, but with a boost from the steriods, they are able to turn feed into muscle (in a manner of speaking) relatively quickly. Steers are not implanted with testosterone to make them grow, but a man-made estrogen steriod. This, believe it or not, helps them gain marbling as well as muscle. Estrogen-implanted steers are often used for collecting semen on bulls to avoid any mistakes in case the bull being collected inseminates the heifer or cow being used instead.

How can taking steroids put someone at risk for HIV?
Steroid drugs do lower your immune response and can put you at risk to catch some viruses. Ask the health care professional who prescribed the steroid drug and knows why you are taking it what extra precautions you should take, or ask your pharmacist. The pharmacists at drugstores in the US are available for consultation like this. Ask in advance if you need an appointment (it would be a good idea since they can schedule you when the pharmacist who is most knowledgeable on the subject is on duty and at a time with the fewest anticipated interruptions.)
Having said that, you should always consider yourself susceptible to HIV and consider everyone with whom you have sexual relations capable of transmitting STDs like HIV. Take all precautions, especially using condoms, whether you are taking steroids or not.
The following is one explanation online of the effects of steroids on the immune system:
One of the actions of prednisone is to weaken the body's immune system. This effect is beneficial when treating allergies or so-called "autoimmune" diseases like arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. However, whenever you weaken the immune system, you increase the body's susceptibility to infection.
Prednisone does not make an individual more likely to get a flu or catch a cold. But, it can increase susceptibility to chickenpox (varicella) and other herpes viruses. Individuals, who have recovered from tuberculosis, or TB, can experience reactivation of the disease when on prednisone. If you have not previously had chickenpox, tell your doctor. Do not take prednisone if you have tuberculosis (active or inactive), shingles or other herpes infection of eyes, lips, or genitals. You should not be vaccinated against any infectious disease while you are on prednisone especially live polio vaccine. Allergy skin tests and TB skin tests will usually be invalid while you are on prednisone. A small number of patients on prednisone develop yeast infections of the mouth (thrush) or vagina. Fortunately, effective medications are available to combat this problem should it occur.
Does muscle steroids show up on regular drug screens?
It would depend on the drug test. Generally, an employer wants to make sure people aren't abusing common drugs which would inhibit the person's ability to complete tasks or make them unsafe for the workplace/- marijuana, LSD, amphetamines, cocaine, heroine and the like. Performing more complex drug screens will cost the employer more per employee, making screens less cost-effective. So generally no.
