How Many Of You Have Asked Your Doctor About 4 Days On 3 Days Off Your HIV Medication?

there was a study going on in Europe where they put people on a 4-day regimen 3 days off and it was just as effective as if you took your medication everyday. Have you ask your doctor about this?

Why now would you risk resistance when closer to cure and if you do this what is your reason for doing this one or 2 days off isn't benefitting the body if you think risks of taking medication helps with problematic issues not off long enuff for that

Being a long term HIV-AIDS medication consumer, now starting my 23rd year, I'll just take them every day. AIDS will not kill me, something else will.

I wouldn't recommended it.. For me, I am just getting back on my meds after 11 months, due to me moving to Illinois and not being able to get medical insurance or medications. I didn't get sick or show any signs of of being positive. My weight loss I explained that I was working 2 jobs.. My mental health, especially my anxiety and depression worsen because I couldn't even like somebody, or have wild, crazy NSA sex and not have this thought in my mibd that I didn't even know my own CD4 or viral load.
Now being back in Michigan I am back on meds, a different one than before. My anxiety and deoression levels are down and my load is moving dowward and hope to soon be back at undectable.
I sais all this to say, when my physical, mental and spiritual are all out of balance then I am no good ti myself or to others... I don't like taking pills everyday but first my sanity I gladly will bypass, the med vacations...
Sorry, I didn't mean to write a sermon...Peace and Blessings to any and everyone who reads this...
