I've been positive for 20 years and on Triumeq over 12 years
For the last 2 years I have become detectable very gradually, from viral load of 50 in July 2022 to 240 in February 2023. Does it just stop working over time? When and how to decide to change to another medication? A local HIV specialist suggested I stay with Triumeq and blindly add on 2 other meds on top. I say blindly as they can't or won't do drug resistance testing until my VL is over 500 here in Hawaii. Is that really true?… read more

I am currently taking Prezista, Norvir and Truvada, but I want to get off the Truvada due to it's serious effects on Kidney's and bone density. I have read there is a safer "version" of Truvada called Descovy.

My Dr told me I could… read more

I was diagnosed in 1987 living half my life with HIV. I am interested in connecting with people who are also Long Term Survivors. I have searched the site and have found quite a few. We are so few and far between it has been hard to find others who have been through the journey we have experienced. Having lost so many friends in the 80 's and 90's plus being diagnosed myself has made me feel survivors guilt and PTSD. Looking for others who have experienced some of the same and like to set… read more

Do you think your doctor has your best interests in mind. With all the information out there from sites like this and the internet it can be overwhelming and contradicting.

Many feel the major culprits for Lipoatrophy, or loss of fullness in face. limbs, and rear, were the drugs AZT and Zerit. More are prone to Lipodystrophy, or visceral fat accumulation in your belly making it look bigger or fat accumulation in fat in upper back, who took Crixivan early on. As a long termer having had HIV 32 years I was on all three for quite a long time back in the 90's when med choices were few. And have both Lipoatrophy and Lipodystrophy in some shape or form. Wonder if… read more
