Do You Take *Genvoya*
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Butterfly50 would like to know...
Good morning I am reaching out to anyone. I've been taking Genvoya for a couple of months. I'm having something going on with my heart and I feel tried all the time. And I'm always depressed. I told my doctor and she refused to change my medication. So I'm asking if anyone that's taking this med. To let me know what kind of experience you have taking Genvoya. Thanks in Advance...Butterfly50

My soon to be ex husband takes Genvoya and he never had a problem, but I take Biktarvy and have no symptoms. Maybe you need to get themto switch the meds for you. You need to be more persistent to your doctor.

I was on Genvoya which was a third step up from Atripla (my starting medication) but changed to Stribild then and currently am on Biktarvy. They all make you a little tired but Biktarvy has the best results for long term use as in liver functions. I don't know why some Doctors are not open to changing medications.

Fire your doctor. My doctor kept me on Truvada for the last 3 years, and I have some serious issues with my liver, kidneys, splin, lungs and heart. I'm so pissed! I'm now on Vixtarvy. If your doctor doesn't listen to what you are saying... FIRE HIM/HER!!!!!!!!!!

Also hear Biktarvy causes weight gain but I personally have not experienced it, I did however gain about 2 pounds since my foot surgery and staying idle during the covid times. Hopefully I am on the road to loosing them now. BTW my CD-4 is at 796 and undetectable for 17 years
