For HIV Infection "I had to take this medication because my wife tested positive. From the day I started this drug, I had a headache.

For HIV Infection "After 3 years on Tivicay and Truvada, I lose fat from my face: forehead, temples, cheeks, jawline. No other side effects; I still play half professional football and train 5 times a week. If you have a low body fat level when starting treatment, avoid this combination."
