Atripla Or Biktarvy?
I’ve been on Atripla almost 20yrs. Side effects are mild to none. My Dr suggested to consider Biktarvy, which has 2 common components yet I am still concerned about switching to this new drug.
I am aware we all react to side effects differently, yet I want to hear experiences or thoughts that might help me make a decision.
Thank you for reading or expressing your advise.
Did Anybody Get Horrendous, Nightmares, And Hallucinations From Taking Biktarvy?

Should Mental Health Be Studied And Addressed With HIV Infection?
Do you suffer from anxiety, depression fear, anger …etc.? Has HIV prompted this or made it worse?

The “obvious” answer is yes.
Was You Given Isoniazid As Your First Line Of Treatment?
When you first got diagnosed with HIV, was you given Isoniazid? Did you have side effects to it?
No argument from me @A myHIVteam Member. ❤️
Bad Dreams, Nightmares Returning:
I was on Sustiva for about 7 years which is generally known to cause night terrors, or not being able to determine what is real or not. Things got better after three weeks or so, but the nightmares continued. Eventually I learned through therapy how to deal with them. Sustiva was a good medicine for my HIV and helped keep me undetectable so I stuck with it.
Then for several years after the nightmares were absent or less intense. Of course stopping Sustiva really helped, but I have been on… read more

When You Look In The Mirror
In your opinion when you look in the mirror comparing yourself before you started HIV medicine and after taking it for a period of time do you feel you looked better before treatment or after when you look in the mirror??
Since living with an ex alcoholic turned sugar addict I've gained a bunch of weight. I plan to work it off and eat adult foods once he moves out.
When You Were First Diagnosed How Long Did You Give Yourself To Live Or Did You Plan To Go Long?
I'm wondering about the difference in how newly diagnosed people compare to long timers when we first find out.
I knew I was going to live longer due to the mindset I put my self in, I saw my sister die with Aids 1994, I wanted to live on so I did, 💔
