@A myHIVteam Member In my opinion. It might stop it. But it won't help you loose it. When I first started my meds. I worked out everyday and walked every where. And I still got fat. It was mostly in my belly. I had to do fat burring diets to make any progress. I saw some research somewhere that said the meds can make you a little insulin resistant. I don't think the weight gain happens to everyone. But it's better to be on the watch for it. I've intermittent fasted the whole time I was on Biktarvy. Truvada and Genvoya blew me up. When I got my Biktarvy, I looked at the bottle, saw the drugs, saw that it had close to the same thing as the other two, and kept dieting.

Yes….no side effects except for the weight (gain)

Yea. It's about 2000 calories a pill.
