Hey.
Been on the injections 8ths now but in this time i have had multiple infections needing antibiotics. Constantly fatigued. To weeks of no sleep. Now past 6wks had persistent cough 😩😭.

I feel so crap. Which isn't helping my bipolar or emotional personality disorder.

Should I stop the injections

Injectable HIV treatments, such as Cabenuva and Apretude, are administered every one to two months and can be beneficial for those who struggle with daily pills. However, they can cause some side effects:

- Injection-site reactions: Pain, bumps, swelling, and discoloration.
- General side effects: Some people may experience soreness at the injection site, which usually lasts up to two days.
