My HIV doctor talked to me about the injection. He tried to sell me on it, but I would rather continue to take my pill and deal with ordering it. I have a routine now and would hate to change it for injections. Besides, I don't know the side affects. I'm happy how things are right now!! So, it's a NO for me!!

I will safely stick to my 1 daily pill,
the saying goes, if it ain't broke, so why change it!

All for taking less and less Poision - if i could stop i would in a second
I Loath needles but prefer that (depending on where) - would also like to know ALL side effects - that they know of and the ones they will not tell anyone till it happens ...

I have enough trouble making my two or 3 dr appointments a year. So I couldn't imagine remembering to get an injection every month,
or sticking myself

Most Americans are infected with HIV1 strain but they are correct a genotype test would verify whether someone is Hiv 1 or 2. Theres a new strain they say has evolved l was reading about at the CDC but not much is known about it yet.
I've been a pioneer in clinical trials but l'm satisfied with my current one pill Biktarvey. I became resistant to most all of the early meds and lived in the unknown of whether something new would be available before l became resistant to that therapy. Luckily now we have alot more choices available to us than even 8-10 yrs ago. I could be wrong but my brother mentioned something about these new hiv meds don't build resistance like the proteases inhibitors did? I'll ask him again this wkend when l call him. His job requires be stay up to date on all the treatment news and l must admit l read but l'm not obsessed with it like l used to be. That's one of the wonderful luxuries these new meds have given us a chance to breathe and live & not be in constant fear anymore.
But l'm very interested in this new shot therapy perhaps someday they can get it to every 6-12 mo.
