I am leaving the country for a few months and got dropped with a bomb with my insurance - they said a few months ago I could have a vacation override but now as I am preparing to leave they have changed their greedy tune and said I can only get two months instead of three. I am preparing to cut my biktarvi doses in half as I have no choice. Will it still work?

29 Year's 12 different HIV medications in the last 8 years many more combinations before that
My question is I'm talking to my doctor about getting on the shots I'm doing great on the pills I'm on right now but I would like to change to the shots my viral load is undetectable and CD4 is way up there so I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of whether I should just stay on my meds or try out the shots I was told if the shot didn't work that I can't go back on the pill does anyone have any answers for that?
@A myHIVteam Member. Just like with oral medication, the worry is missed doses, say putting off the next round of shots for a couple weeks. The infrequent dosing may make people less attentive to… read more
I was on Biktavy for 2 years and never missed a doze. My CD4 was 450, undetectable, then I switched to Cabanuva for a 2-month injection. After 6 months, my CD4 count has dropped to 314, and I am detectable again. I'm very upset and stressed right now. It seems like the Cabenuve 2-month injection is not working for me, despite the more than 50 side effects. I went back to Biktavy; it's been 2 weeks. I plan on getting bloodwork after 1 month to see if there's any change. The problem with Biktavy… read more
So, I ask this because it lets us all know about other medications available and reviews on them. I understand everyone is different and side effects may vary, but I'm asking specifically about your experience with the medication. Thank you for sharing/responding and have a blessed day.
P.S. - Does anyone know if there any HIV medications that have weight loss as a side effect?!

"Biktarvy" I started 5 years ago
@A myHIVteam Member, you don't qualify for ADAP (Ryan White)?
I have no idea why or how but according to my viral load test my VL went from undetectable to 93. I have never missed my biktarvy. None of it makes sense.
My doctor mentioned possibly switching from biktarvy to something else to see if another medication would “jump start” my cd4. Now she may really want to since my VL is increasing.
I’ve taken several different meds for hiv. Sometimes because of drug resistance, others because they don’t work like they should.
I’ve been on one called duranavir (I think that’s how you spell it)… read more
