Hiv Reinfection
Is it possible if your on arvs and undetectable to get another hiv infection from another person . From what I’m understanding is that reinfection is rare. And usually only becomes a problem if you contract a different strain that is resistant to the arvs your taking. But my understanding is the resistance new virus would have to be resistant to all the ingredients of your arv to cause issues. Anyone have thoughts on this
Yes I’m at the stage of anger and every little sniffle I get I think I’m dying

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
