Biktarvy

So I've decided to no longer take my meds.....Its a long story and im just tired of this life given to me. No, im not gonna do anything drastic. I just want to be in comtrol and not controlled by these medications..Does need this stuff? I have a fresh supply

  1. When were you diagnosed? If you want to talk we can. I hated Biktarvy that was the first medication I was put on after my diagnosis in November 2020.

    1. just tagging to give you a heads up that there is a reply in your original post. We are here to listen, it can be so tough. I hope you can find more information here about other treatments that may agree with you. - Liz (Team Member)

      1. I am on Biktarvy and respond well to it.
        After being forced to take multiple pills years ago and with severe side effects I am grateful.

        1. Alafia (Peace) 1sttime I have been where you are so many times in the 24 years of taking meds to treat HIV. I started with 22 pills per day and now I only take one. When I feel like I don't want to take any meds I have to remember where I started and where I would be without it and the meds for my mental health. Dead! So I keep pushing on. I ask that you speak with your provider and take a beat before giving up on taking your medicine. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
