Looks like after 30 years of taking the same HIV drug,
I'm finally starting to show resistance to it.
With all the current medications on the market, could you please recommend your drug of choice ?

Members came together with warmth and encouragement to support someone facing HIV drug resistance after 30 years on the same medication. Several members shared their personal experiences with medications like Biktarvy, Dovato, Juluca, Symtuza, Triumeq, Genvoya, and Cabenuva, with many reporting staying undetectable and tolerating their regimens well, while noting some side effects like vivid dreams, sleep issues, or stomach discomfort. A recurring theme was the importance of consulting your HIV doctor, getting a genotype test to guide treatment choices, and finding comfort in the growing number of medication options available today.

I sent him a telehealth message requesting a follow up on the results for the genotype test. I'll wait to hear what he recommends and then I'll research it and use some of the comparisons that have been suggested here. Thanks for all your suggestions family ❤️🙏👍😃🤗

I too recommend biktarvey, the only side effect I was warned of was a possibility of an increase in vivid dreams, if you happen to have a tendency for nightmares, you may want to reconsider, but I've been on biktarvey for over 10 yearsl
I had previously had sleep apnea which had retarded all my dreaming, and on biktarvey I started to dream again!
