I 've been on biktarvy for the last two years. I had night sweats before my diagnosis but they stopped for a couple of years while I was on Truvada and Genvoya. Since I've been on Biktarvy my night sweats have really kicked up to a nightly occurrence. I've been researching some other HIV related conditions to bring to my dr. Is anyone else noticing this

Members discussed experiences with night sweats while taking Biktarvy, with some reporting the sweats returned or intensified after switching from medications like Genvoya or Truvada, while others on Biktarvy experienced no night sweats at all. Several members shared additional side effects they've noticed, including insomnia, stomach issues, dry skin, and weight changes, with one member finding relief through melatonin for sleep troubles. A recurring theme was the importance of tracking symptoms, communicating openly with doctors about any concerns, and weighing side effects against overall treatment benefits.

I think I can now answer this with open eyes of Biktarvy. I don't get the night sweats but I am realizing I do have insomnia with it. When I was on Genvoya, I gained a LOT of weight and that was the only issue. Since then which is almost a year now, I have lost that weight and gained insomnia from Biktarvy. I was informed to take melatonin which I will start taking soon.
