Has Anyone Seen The Information Online About Stopping HIV Meds And Still Living Strong Healthy Lives, Is This Just BS? 4 Mos Off Meds Now.
By the way, I have only been on three different regimens since my diagnosis in 1995. I started with trizavir, then I went on Atripla and most recently I was switched to Genvoya. I have never blown a regimen, however I did have some compliance issues with the Trizavir. Currently, I am without insurance hence the reason I am off the meds. I will be eligible for employer based healthcare in June. Thanks all.
Hi. Has Anyone Switched From Atripla To Genvoya?
I've been on Atripla 11 yrs with good success & little side effects, but concerned it may be hard on my bones, teeth and kidneys. Heard and read that Genvoya may be a better alternative and not as harsh on my body (especially as I get older . . . 61 now) Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has made that switch and what your experience has been like.
Hey Robert.Thanks foe your response, glad the Odefsey is helping!

Does Anyone Have A Picture And/or List Of A HIV "Cocktail" From The 90's?
I am trying to wrap my head around what a real cocktail was in the past. When I received my HIV diagnoses in 2012 doctors put me on Atripla, a 3-in-1 pill, that very same day. I have not seen any TV show or movie explain what past cocktails where. In the movie Rent, they say "AZT TIME" but never really explain if that is a three times a day thing or 15 times a day thing. Even in the movie Dallas Buyers Club, they go through a list of the medicine but not dosages or dosing schedule. I believe… read more
@A myHIVteam Member is correct there were no cocktails just AZT of which I never partook of thankfully because of my long denial after diagnosis. By the time I started getting sick, there were other… read more
