@A myHIVteam Member Isoniazid isn't an HIV medication. It's for your lungs. I had to be on it until my CD4 got to 200 or above for 6 months.
I was given that for prevention of tb.
I had 6 months course my partner at the time had tb. And i was in close contact with him. I was fine with it. No side effects. Love helen ❤️ x
My first line of treatment was Isoniazid and bactrim. I was allergic to both. Bactrim got changed to Mepron, and Isoniazid didn't get changed at all. The ONLY alternative at that time, I was even MORE allergic to. Now I have feet issues to this day because of it.
ATZ and Bactrim just about killed me , allergic to Bactrim ! Then Norvir and a few others don’t remember what they were !
@A myHIVteam Member same here. Then 4 years later I was diagnosed with TB. Still test positive to this day.
