I’ve been having tinnitus for a month now. I believe it is due to my medication Biktarvy which I started taking 6 months ago. It’s been bothering me so much and I wish for it to stop. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Any Opinion On Delstrigo?

Manchester, UK

I started taking Delstrigo earlier this year but I have developed inflammation in my liver. All my medication has been stopped but seeing my doctor tomorrow to discuss what is going to happen next. I’ve been undetectable for many years so I’m feeling a little worried about what the next step will be. Anyone else had any issues with this medication?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Taking Biktarvy since 2020, positive since 2017. I really don’t know what to make of it, but my eGFR is off by a point enough to flag High in my test, and my creatinine is slightly elevated.

Have you ever read the pamphlet on your medications?
