What Medicine Do You Take?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I have no idea why or how but according to my viral load test my VL went from undetectable to 93. I have never missed my biktarvy. None of it makes sense.

My doctor mentioned possibly switching from biktarvy to something else to see if another medication would “jump start” my cd4. Now she may really want to since my VL is increasing.

Antiretroviral Therapy
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

When I see my GP on January 11th I would like to know what type of antiretroviral medication is a good one that doesn’t have the side effect of trouble sleeping. Because on the injections, they have that side effect, it also causes depression and anxiety. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A myHIVteam Member

Indeed @A myHIVteam Member what would be the point. My inclination would be Biktarvy myself if I could afford it.

I’m Getting Fat.
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I switched to biktarvy this last year and have put on the pounds. I thought the new meds were better. Maybe not.

A myHIVteam Member

Biktarvy will give you a pouch/gut but if you watch what you eat and exercise it helps.
