Members shared their experiences with various HIV medications, with Biktarvy being the most commonly mentioned and praised for its once-daily dosing and effectiveness in achieving undetectable viral loads, though many noted side effects including weight gain, fatigue, and insomnia. Several members described switching medications due to concerns about kidney function or side effects, with Juluca, Genvoya, Dovato, and Cabenuva (a monthly injection) emerging as alternatives that worked well for different individuals. A recurring theme was that while most medications successfully maintained undetectable status, the side effects varied widely from person to person, with weight gain being particularly common and frustrating across multiple regimens.
