@A myHIVteam Member, I heard about that lawsuit. That's what made me wonder! I'm on Biktarvy. While that wasnt on the lawsuit list, I'm concerned that its just a matter of time before they say, "uh oh, we forgot this one." We need these meds to "stay alive" so were kind of darned if we do, and darned if we dont.

I didn't like the old version of Tenofovir, that is a class action lawsuit, and I believe the new version is even worse.
I'm stuck with it for now but researching different regimens and will let you know what I come up with.

Rickshott I feel the same way. That will be 51 this year. 20 years on meds

Well how am I supposed to know the difference between if I'm getting something from being 51 and I'm getting something from the meds?
So I basically adjusted my diet to keep my body balance. I cook more at home to watch my iron levels, salt and sugar. I get labs every 3 months. It's my 3rd year coming up April 13.
So how am I supposed to know the difference?
