Dolutegravir / rilpivirine "I was on Biktarvy as my first medication, but after six months, I became extremely ill and almost died. I asked my doctor to change me to Dovato. I felt much better, but again after six months, I started feeling ill and extremely tired. I asked my doctor once again to change my medication to Juluca, and my tiredness is gone, and I feel more energetic. No stomach, intestinal pain, or brain fog. Less medication equals fewer side effects. Be proactive with your doctor. If the medication isn't working for you, talk to him or her. If they don't agree to change your medication, get another doctor. It's your health, and you have the right to be proactive. Best wishes to all and good health."

Dolutegravir / rilpivirine "I was diagnosed with HIV in March 2020. The most scariest part of my diagnosis was figuring out the right medication because I didn’t want to have to put my body through a few medications to find the right one. My doctor gave me two options from the medication chart, and one of the options was Juluca. My doc told me Juluca was as effective as all the other popular HIV medications and would be a perfect choice for my initial HIV medication-and Juluca being not as toxic as the other ones due to fewer medications compressed in one pill. I’ve been on Juluca since. I went undetectable with less than 100 copies from 56,000 copies in the first month of taking Juluca. No side effects."

Dolutegravir / rilpivirine "Amazing medication, zero side effects. Only thing, it must be taken with food for better absorption, and I keep forgetting to take it with food. I hope that doesn't affect me being undetectable. I was on Triumeq and didn’t realize how much nausea it used to give me until I switched to Juluca."

Dolutegravir / rilpivirine "I've been on this medication for about 4 years now, and it's been great. I used to be on Odefsey, and I had major nausea and would throw up every morning. With Juluca, I have had barely any side effects the first couple of years, but this year I have been feeling very dizzy and nauseous. I don't know if the medication is doing it or if I myself am doing something wrong. I will be speaking with my doctor to see what can be done. I've been undetectable for about 6 years, and it's great."

Dolutegravir / rilpivirine "I was taking Juluca for several months with relatively no side effects, except it made my anxiety and depression worse. I asked my doctor to switch me to another drug, and he prescribed Delstrigo. It doesn't have the side effect of anxiety and depression, but I still have them. I have been on Delstrigo only for a few days, so I can't tell if it's better for me."

"36-year survivor; switched from Biktarvy (1 year) to Juluca, 2 weeks ago. Less toxic feelings for me, but both have caused me to gain weight (Biktarvy/30 lbs & Juluca/6 lbs). Juluca is causing me to have bloating in my stomach, not sure I like that, gas as well. Biktarvy was causing me to not sleep and have terrible dreams, headache too, as well as very tired/fatigue. Glad to be on some things different, hope it works better. Sometimes I feel like a lab rat, with try this and try that. Well, I'm still here, so it must mean something."

Dolutegravir / rilpivirine "Been positive since 2015, this is my 3rd choice of meds. After one year, I've gone from a CD4 count of 958 to 606, and I will be changing meds soon. No longer undetectable! Thanks Juluca!"
