More Then 1 Pill A Day?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

After looking at past posts I see that some people take more then one pill a day. I’m new to this but I thought with the first class drugs that are on the market biktarvy,dovato etc 1 pill a day will keep you undetectable. Is it because some people are not getting the new meds. Or they have a lot of drug resistance from past drug combinations . I know in the beginning people were taking like 5 to 10 pills a day . God bless you that must have been hard.

I've been infected 20+ years and have an aggressive strain. It's a natural procession to reach failure resistance also after so many years on all regimens. I take 3 pills per day for the past 10 years and have fabulous numbers and undetectable. It's just like brushing teeth or making coffee, part of a quick morning routine that I sometimes wash down with a fruit shake, oh hell sweetie, I've even washed them down with mimosas on Sundays before 😆. Even my dog takes 2 pills a day for a heart condition. I just live my life well and let the doctors worry about the rest.

I can't take the newer meds. I do take Tivicay and Prezcobic and am undetectable.

Brad3, currently I am on a three drug regimen. So it is four pills per day. My doctors have wanted me to change to a one pill a day. I said no because this combination is keeping me undetectable and if it isn't broken don't fix it. I have two pill organizers that I fill once every two weeks with my HIV meds, other meds, vitamins and herbs. So I'm taking a bunch of stuff anyway so it is no big deal for more than 1 pill HIV med.

So I guess I am #2 in Xavier's explanation.

There can be a variety of reasons. The blessing is that there's a variety.
