Well...It's still a cancer drug. I have mild side effect from my medication. A cancer drug is next level side effects sometimes life threatening. It's a different story if you already have cancer and HIV. Then, I'd be all for it.

It has mixed reviews. Some people had heart attacks n strokes n other had bleeding, nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, n the side effects from chemical medicine cause other issues that u hav to take more chemicals that do more damage n requires more meds. It's a Pharmaceutical/Government Pyramid Scheme. The more chemicals u take the more money they n the government makes.

I have not, but I am definitely interested. I take Biktarvy but just got approved for Cabanuva. I will ask my Dr.

No, but at my annual with my ID doctor last week, she mentioned that she has several patients now on a once-a-month-injectible ART drug...that, if it does well, I might consider it for my next appointment (which isn't until 2024). Have heard about Keytruda, and it makes sense that patients who had bone marrow transplants may become HIV-cured. That the Keytruda may help make that happen. It's quite promising.
