Does Anyone Else Experience Severe Itching Skin On Medication?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I've been taking Stribild for 3 years now, and I just can not cope with the unbearable itching skin I experience at night time. It makes me want to rip my skin off?

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.
