For HIV Infection "Within a month of taking Dovato, I had an allergic reaction with facial swelling, the lumps were hard, and my cheekbones painful and lasted for a few days. I told the doc, he said it was sinusitis, something I never had before. So, I carried on with the medication, but the bouts of swelling happened so many times. I demanded to be listened to and switch meds, so I switched a month ago to Biktarvy, and so far, God willing, no more facial swelling. Also, while on it, my sleep was awful, with vivid dreams, mega tiredness, weight gain, and lots of aches and pains. Dovato kept me undetectable, but the CD4 dropped, which worried me a lot. I reported the side effects on the yellow card system (UK). I feel let down by my clinic allowing this to go on for so long-20+ bouts of swelling in 18 months and given antibiotics I didn’t need to have. I will switch again if needed, but I’ve convinced myself that Dovato was poison."

For HIV Infection "Does anyone have rheumatoid arthritis along with HIV? I seem to be the only one having this combination. Please let me know as I am so much in pain, and it started last year before my switch to Dovato and before the coronavirus. You can write a review here on the Dovato review page. Thank you!"
