For HIV Infection "Started on Dovato April 17 of this year after being on Triumeq for 5 years. I have had a cough, headaches, and body aches since early May. Also bizarre dreams, so tired I can't do anything. I see my doctor Monday to go over blood work. Praying she switches me back."

For HIV Infection "I was diagnosed with HIV in 2020, but I didn't seek treatment until 2022. I was prescribed Biktarvy (bictegravir + tenofovir alafenamide + emtricitabine). It got me undetectable in three months, but I developed lactic acidosis, which is a dangerous condition. I felt weak and more tired than usual, I also developed unusual muscle pain, shortness of breath while lying in bed, extreme stomach and intestinal pain with nausea, bloating, weight gain, and cold blue hands and feet. I also felt lightheaded and developed a fast, abnormal heartbeat. I changed doctors, and I asked to be placed on Dovato. It's now been four months, and I'm still undetectable, and my CD4 count is high. I'm feeling much healthier and more active. Biktarvy will surely work for others, and it will get you to undetectable fast, which is a good start. I believe that Dovato is the right medication for me. Don't feel scared, and start treatment as soon as possible, and you'll have a better chance of a normal life like me."

For HIV Infection "I am on Dovato for the past 60 days. I switched from Genvoya with my doctor's advice because it's a 'newer' drug. I had no issues with Genvoya at all, but with Dovato, I am constantly tired, having a hard time concentrating. I am either working or in bed sleeping. Can't say I am super depressed, but I feel like I lost my cheerfulness a lot. I'll give it another month. If it doesn't get any better, I'll switch back to Genvoya."
