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

So, I ask this because it lets us all know about other medications available and reviews on them. I understand everyone is different and side effects may vary, but I'm asking specifically about your experience with the medication. Thank you for sharing/responding and have a blessed day.

P.S. - Does anyone know if there any HIV medications that have weight loss as a side effect?!

Biktarvy Ringing In Ears Side Effect?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Started taking Biktarvy in August and immediately had ringing in the ears. Has anyone experienced this while taking Biktarvy? It’s not listed as a side effect. Thinking of changing to Juluca.

Does Anyone Else Experience Severe Itching Skin On Medication?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I've been taking Stribild for 3 years now, and I just can not cope with the unbearable itching skin I experience at night time. It makes me want to rip my skin off? I'm constantly having to stock up on antihistamines to manage the side effects but occasionally I run out and I experience THE most uncomfortable nights, especially when I'm trying to get to sleep.

Do You Take *Genvoya*
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Butterfly50 would like to know...
Good morning I am reaching out to anyone. I've been taking Genvoya for a couple of months. I'm having something going on with my heart and I feel tried all the time. And I'm always depressed. I told my doctor and she refused to change my medication. So I'm asking if anyone that's taking this med. To let me know what kind of experience you have taking Genvoya. Thanks in Advance...Butterfly50

Bimonthly Injection
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Ive said before many times, the United States is far behind in HIV care

Side Effects From Meds.....
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have side effects from ART meds? Biktarvy specifically? Ive had the same side effects for a year, (since I started taking it) and Its to a point that I'm tired of them. My doctor keeps telling me most people dont have any side effects from it. Well, maybe I'm not most people. He won't switch me to a different med or nothing. I'm irritated with my doctor as well.

Anyone else have these problems?
