Genvoya Isn’t The Miracle I Expected...anyone Else Having A Time With It And Switched To Another ART?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Fayetteville, GA

Well unfortunately @@Genvoya is not what I expected. I have every side effect listed plus a few more. Here we go...insomnia, lack of appetite, nausea, headache, diarrhea, rash, worsening neuropathy, nightmares nightmares nightmares and this strange thing which makes my eyebrows tingle after I take the dang stuff. My ID Doc wants to switch me and of course she says she has never seen this with one of her patients...lucky me. My question is this: Anyone else have issues with @@Genvoya and have… read more

Anyone On Juluca Or Its Components Endurant And Tivicay?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Fayetteville, GA

Is anyone out there on Juluca? Biktarvy is a definite NO as Genvoya almost killed me and my current two pill combo Prezcobix and Isentress has to go. Just been doing my research as my natural course was derailed by a nasty viral infection so I’m looking to get as much of these toxins out of my regimen and Juluca is the first with only 2. Thanks everyone💫

Do You Take *Genvoya*

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Butterfly50 would like to know...
Good morning I am reaching out to anyone. I've been taking Genvoya for a couple of months. I'm having something going on with my heart and I feel tried all the time. And I'm always depressed. I told my doctor and she refused to change my medication. So I'm asking if anyone that's taking this med. To let me know what kind of experience you have taking Genvoya. Thanks in Advance...Butterfly50

Is It Possible To Donate My Unused Genvoya To Someone Or Some Organization?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Jacksonville, FL

I just switched from Genvoya to Biktarvy but had some unopened Genvoya and I hate for it to go to waste. Is there a place or person I can donate it to? I'm in the Jacksonville, FL area.

A myHIVteam Member

Thanks for the idea Xavier. I also had a barely used bottle of Genvoya and was planning to save that in case. But I hoped that the unopened bottle could be used by someone who needed it and maybe… read more

Has Anyone Taking Biktarvy Experienced Significant Weight Gain?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Birmingham, AL

I was diagnosed HIV positive 8 months ago and started on Biktarvy. My HIV was VERY advanced and the Biktarvy has helped immensely. BUT I’ve gained 24 pounds so far. I’m a 5’2” female so that’s up 2 clothing sizes. And I wasn’t underweight before. (Seems I experienced every symptom of late stage HIV except wasting.) I have a ton of fairly expensive clothing that I can’t wear, my joints ache from the extra weight, and I hate looking in the mirror in my new “fat clothes”. But my doctor doesn’t… read more

Have never heard of taking sustiva and genvoya together. Drs in different areas and states treat patients differently I've noticed. These pills the way I've been told are to be taken only one pill… read more
