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.
Thank goodness I've had none of those experience but I've been on the same restaurant for over what 20 years so when I haven't had any kind of reactions from the medicine no diarrhea or anything I do… read more

@A myHIVteam Member 😁
Hi, since I started on ART therapy (Truvada and Raltegravir) I have suffered from continuous itchy skin that at times can become unbearable and I just want to scratch my skin off.

I was put on Fexofenadine and various skin lotions by my GP, which help to reduce the itching - but not completely get rid off it. Even on… read more
HIV has come a long way from the 80s and 90s. And yes I know many will live a normal lifespan albeit challenging. However do you really believe the science or the scientific community will ,which includes our drug companies that are keeping us alive really find a cure.i read a lot and im extremely hopeful but hiv is such an insidious virus that is exceptionally good invading and hiding in our bodies.

Some of us have been very fortunate not having any side effects and others have passed on from complications related to HIV.

Caregiving is very much underappreciated. It could be a daunting task depending on each individual situation.
How do you feel taking care of another person or if you are the person being taken care of, how does that make you feel?
Never been good at being a patient. I try. I like to do for others though . I can do my part but I'm no nurse. I think nurses are the best.
