"I am so very grateful to be able to take the Cabenuva injection. I am not the kind of person to stick with a routine long-term, and Cabenuva was what I needed. The time period for me to go from a low 100s T-cell count to undetectable was about a month and a half. The effects showed immediately. I was more energetic, less tired, and I felt better. Although I did experience a lot of skin peeling, it wasn't a huge issue, plus my doctor explained that as my immune system got better, I may experience quite a few unexpected symptoms."
