"I’ve been taking Genvoya for a very long time. I love that it is a once-a-day dosage. I am not aware of any side effects and do have my liver enzymes monitored several times a year, and often they are slightly elevated, but this could partially be due to other medications and/or genetics. I didn’t know that it is supposed to be taken with food for optimal absorption until this past year. I’m sure I must have not researched it enough. Now I am learning about how much food needs to be ingested and the time to wait for the stomach acids to begin the digestion process. My doctor switched me to another HIV pill with fewer ingredients when it came out, but I had terrible side effects, so he switched me back to Genvoya."

"I was diagnosed in 2017, my viral load over 400,000. I started with Atripla, which I had no problem with, but a new doctor suggested Genvoya because of Atripla's side effects. With Genvoya, I was undetectable in 2 months. I’ve never had a side effect that I can think of besides flatulence, and I’ve had that forever (lol). I highly recommend trying it if you're having problems with other medications."

"I was diagnosed in 2001, started on Lexiva, Norvir and Truvada in 2005, changed to Stribild in 2015, and switched to Genvoya in 2016 since it contains the newer, less toxic Truvada. I have been undetectable since. I have been fortunate to have had no noticeable side effects or discomfort at all. I'm also on Crestor. I give Genvoya a 10 and consider myself very fortunate!"

"Just took my first pill 1.5 hours ago. A little tingling in the tongue, thirst, and my ears are a little red as if someone rubbed them... Maybe it's from emotions... Otherwise nothing-no stomach ache-no nausea-no nothing... I'll keep you posted when I make it to 4 hours-this post is for starters."

"My first day after Genvoya pill. A little diarrhea and smelly flatulence. My tummy is grumbling. Other feelings a little headache-but maybe that's from the weather outside. Apart from that, nothing noticeable. So far, I think this is a good medicine."

"When I started to take Genvoya, within one year my triglycerides and cholesterol levels climbed so high. I gained so much weight, getting more fat. The doctor did not believe me, so I stopped it."

"Switched to Genvoya from Eviplera. Wish I had switched a lot sooner. It's only been a week, but I feel and look so much better. More energy and less tired-looking. Very happy."

"It's my third day taking it. I am very bloated and nauseous all day long. I also have issues sleeping, but nothing to be bothered about. On the other hand, I feel stronger than before."

"With TAF, it's a vast improvement over Stribild with TDF. But after 1 1/2 years, I'm tired of it making me tired. I'm getting brain, liver, joint, and liver inflammation. This disease sucks."
