2024 Retrovirus Conference

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

The 2024 retrovirus conference ended this week and there was some promising news. They found out the drugs Islatravir and lenacapavir taken together once a week worked just as well as once a day ARVS. To me this is good news since I really hate taking pills everyday.

Of course this new once a week drug is still at least a… read more

The discussion started because I had mentioned that I was interested in sleeping with someone that I have a casual thing with but we haven't had the talk and I was thinking about not pursuing it any further. He seriously made me feel dumb… read more

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Columbia, TN

I've been taking Biktarvy since August of 2020. I missed one dose within a few weeks of first starting my treatment. Have not missed any other doses since then until a few days ago.
