I recently became detectable after a regimen of over 20 years became ineffective. I'm currently on Biktarvy along with another medication called Pifeltro... The last blood work I took was about a month ago and that is about 2 months into the medication and I went from having a viral load of 1,800 copies down to 27.
It's highly effective and as far as the side effects I take it at night before I sleep. Also make sure you take any supplements on the opposite time so if you take it at night take your supplements in the morning. It also as I heard gives a lot of people the big belly syndrome. I inject human growth hormone into my stomach so I have not had that problem in many many years thankfully. Good luck Michael.

I have been on Biktarvy for over a year now and have had no side effects at all. I just always take with food.
30 Years POZ here!

On Biktarvy, no side effects, I have weight gain, but that is from other medicines for other issues, I think.

I had serious weight gain (30 lbs, more than I'd gained in 30 years!) when I was switched to Biktarvy, needlessly, because of a purported problem with cardiac side effects from Triumeq. When those problems were disproven, I asked to be switched back to Triumeq. It took me five years to take off the extra thirty pounds, thank you very little.
I could have done entirely without ever having dealt with the misery of the weight gain, loss of self image, self worth,and the accompanying struggle against the geezer stereotype with the under-30 gays of today. Thanks a lot, Biktarvy...

30 years in September been on Biktravy since 2016
