For HIV Infection "Although I have only been on Kaletra for a short time, side effects have been minimal. The once daily dosage is easy to comply with. Being able to take the pills with or without food is also convenient."

Lopinavir / ritonavir for HIV Infection "Kaletra and Truvada helped raise my T-cell count from 200 to in the 600s. But the side effects felt were immediate bloating of the stomach and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels."

Lopinavir / ritonavir for HIV Infection "Didn't stay on it long. Had very vivid dreams, brain fog, and general mental unease. For the limited time I was on, I can't really speak to how it affected the HIV itself."

Lopinavir / ritonavir for HIV Infection "Since I've been changed to Viread/Epivir/Kaletra, my viral load has remained constantly undetectable for ~4 years; my T-cell count went from 210 to 325 very quickly; in the last year, with no changes to anything, my viral load remains undetectable, and my T-cell count has soared to 725!!! Sounds fantastic. However, during this same period of rapid T-cell rise, I have slowly become more and more tired, weak, and my bones ache from head to toe. I no longer have the strength to ride my horse or even do the yard work. My doctor believes I may be suffering from lactic acidosis. But he is convinced that it is because of the Viread ~ NOT because of the Kaletra. I will now be replacing Viread with abacavir and continue taking Kaletra. Hope it works."
