Does Anyone Else Experience Severe Itching Skin On Medication?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Bridgend, UK

I've been taking Stribild for 3 years now, and I just can not cope with the unbearable itching skin I experience at night time. It makes me want to rip my skin off? I'm constantly having to stock up on antihistamines to manage the side effects but occasionally I run out and I experience THE most uncomfortable nights, especially when I'm trying to get to sleep.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii

I have found my self that after explaining to my children, when they were still in high school, and now my grandchildren who are at the age of comprehension, that when I sat and explained to them what Grandpa has they will sit and listen intently and have the look of concern on their faces.

Being Taken Advantage Of For Having HIV.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Seattle, WA

Ever since I was diagnosed positive my sister has used to it to her benefit. To make me look less of a person, one vulnerable and without any power. My dad and mom who are now deceased were supportive of my diagnosis and my lifestyle. I guess my sister hated that. She was constantly asking my parents to change their wills so she could get everything since I probably would be dead. And among other hateful things. I did not ask for anything from my parents only they be happy, travel around… read more
