Is This All There Is?
Now that the pharmaceutical companies have found a way to keep us alive for 30+ years with a one a day pill,what’s the incentive for them to come up with another pill. Wouldn’t it makes sense for all scientists,pharmaceutical companies etc to now spend all their effort to find a cure. In 15 years from now biktarvy,dovato will lose there patents and these pills will me made by many different companies in generic form which will drop the price for these drugs dramatically?no longer will they be… read more
@A myHIVteam Member. My NP, who has a PhD in immunology, said that although it was thought that acyclovir was effective against HIV, that has been shown to be untrue. He said that he took many of his… read more
Co Infections Not Related To Hiv
Undetectable sounds great on paper however we are still like those who don’t have this disease.we can get non hiv health issues that everyone on the planet gets.anyone dealing with medical issues unrelated to hiv that affects them.and does having hiv make it harder to control your other conditions?
@A myHIVteam Member. Yep.
More Then 1 Pill A Day?
After looking at past posts I see that some people take more then one pill a day. I’m new to this but I thought with the first class drugs that are on the market biktarvy,dovato etc 1 pill a day will keep you undetectable. Is it because some people are not getting the new meds. Or they have a lot of drug resistance from past drug combinations . I know in the beginning people were taking like 5 to 10 pills a day . God bless you that must have been hard. I hate taking one pill a day. Can anyone… read more
I take 2 pills a day. One pill has two drugs in it.
In the past I've taken multiple pills

No More Meds
Is there anyone else here who has stopped taking meds? I used to and no longer do? I don't care for them anymore. Has anyone else done this as well
I am one of those whom you speak of. I had friends who did not have the luxury of deciding whether or not they want to take the pill. I put my body through various clinical trials until I found the… read more

How Long Can You Live
I know they say todays modern drugs you can live a long life.but how long and is it a healthy long life or HIV plays games with other parts of your body . Can you live 30 years relatively healthy or is it unrealistic to think that. Inflammation comes to mind and HIV is notorious for inflammation. I read somewhere that a 22 year old who gets HIV will have lots of other health issues when they get to my age which is 58. And that is with them taking 35+ years of pills
@A myHIVteam Member I have experienced less scary not more as years pass. I am not in a rush as I expect to only die once. But no point in fearing the inevitable.

Prescriptions
HIV therapies are a must to keep the virus in check. Keeping the time you take your pill(s) at the same time everyday will help keep you at an undetectable level. Besides taking your HIV regimen religiously every day, do you tend to lag behind on any other medications you take? I take my HIV pill at 8pm every night. But my neurapathy pill, inflammatory pills, lung medication I tend to lack on sometimes. I have alarms set to take my meds, but sometimes I just don't take them. BESIDES your HIV… read more
