A friend told me that he doubles up on his HIV meds on date night since he doesn't use condoms.
Any advice?

@A myHIVteam Member. Thanks for the information on HIV resistance to lamivudine. I was on Combivir (AZT/lamivudine) from 1996-99. It was originally prescribed with nevirapine, but I had trouble with… read more
Received snail mail the other day; April 1 specifically. It is thick envelope from some place called Patient Advocate Foundation and in bold print "Co-Pay Relief". They are from Hampton VA.
There are phone numbers to call and most likely I will. But this also could be an April fools scam. Has anyone else here heard of this outfit?
Thanks
Wise choice @A myHIVteam Member. I doubt you will have any trouble. Whatever damage occurred with my kidneys, occurred long before I started Biktarvy. Good Luck 🍀👍 ❤️
I have been getting all in my lower left flank, Chronic Pancreatitis, Infections in my colon, and kidney problems. I'm just wondering if there a connection to the meds.

I still suffer from "Peripheral Neuropathy" (pins and needles) at night-time, due to overactivity of my CNS (Central Nervous System), related to my HIV.
About 8 months ago, on advice from my HIV clinic, I began taking one Vitamin B12 tablet daily to hopefully repair my nerve pathways, to hopefully stop the "Peripheral Neuropathy", but the daily B12 hasn't remedied the problem. I still sleep badly and still suffer from the itching.
So my HIV doctor has now suggested I consider taking… read more

You GO, Gurl... 🤠
Talking to those who have had this disease for 20 or more years have made me wonder what progress have we made in keeping them and newly infected alive with meds.im new to this and respect long term survivor’s opinion on this subject. At the same time those newly diagnosed have another perspective. Mine is while no cure is on the horizon but close I believe,what we have is 1000 times better then what was around in the early nineties.you can live a normal life with this disease . anyone agree or… read more
