How has your lifestyle changed after you started taking your medication
For me the beginning used to be a big struggle,many thoughts and regrets such that I skipped med and I didn’t want to continue with the meditation
Not long I found that my CD4 had started declining so fast! Had to go through counseling and set med alarm 🥲took my meds bounced back!!
since then I’ve never skipped or regretted taking my medication the right way. Never been hospitalized nor do I have any complications!!!

Taking my meds is something that I am used to. I take my meds happily. I used to be a bone now I am up in weight like a normal person, the meds keep me alive.
When I started in 1991 I was just taking AZT, my weight was 99 lbs., and at the time I had shingles which I was in a lot of pain and took about a month before it disappeared, even though today I was left with some marks as a reminder. Then a few years later the cocktails came in and had pain, diarrhea, and vomiting as my body was getting used to the medications. Now I am on Biktarvy and going on 32 years with the virus.
I am glad to weigh 239 lbs and be 5'10!
@A myHIVteam Member I think we all are because I didn't used to be this heavy 178ibs I used to be 160ibs but like you said we're still alive too TTYL
I experienced the same. I sometimes get into a depression and not want to take my meds but I always bounce back from it. My overall health since diagnosis has improved greatly (infected 2019 and diagnosed 2022) I am slowly picking up weight and haven't experienced the weight gain others described. I have alot of aches and pains which is new but no issues with meds or any severe side effects
