I'm trying to lose some extra weigh and I'm strongly looking into fasting. My issue is can I take my meds during the fast or should I avoid fasting all together? Is there any benefits to fasting if you are HIV positive?
I have no food issues on Bictarvy but Triumeq made me lose 40 lbs
I take my med at 5am weekdays when I get up for work. But on weekends it's nice to sleep in some and wait a couple of hours to take it. Will it make any difference?

As we all know guidelines are to start ARV medication as soon as possible which gives you a close to normal life span. With that being said there are many long term survivors who were on toxic meds. such as protease inhibitors in the late 90s that were really not good. And many of these people had hiv for 5 to 10 years before there was protease inhibitors and they were on AZT which we can all agree was a failure. From what I read on here and other places many of these people are still alive 30… read more
