I have a question about Combivir I recently found out I have HIV and they prescribed that for me so I'll be taking it Monday my question is would that help me be undetectable or I need special treatment for that I ask doctors when I found but none have been a big help to me

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 still suffer from "Peripheral Neuropathy" (pins and needles) at night-time, due to overactivity of my CNS (Central Nervous System), related to my HIV.

So my HIV doctor has now suggested I consider taking… read more

Never claim anything until you have proof it's true
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
