Diagnosed in March â??17 with viral load of 100K and CD4 less than 20.

Diagnosed in March â??17 with viral load of 100K and CD4 less than 20. Started Triumeq after doctor tested for any reactions, alongside a suite of prophylactic antibiotics and anti-fungal (Flucanazole). Slight nausea at first, especially if I took all pills together. Within 3 months VL had dropped to 5000 and CD4 climbed up to mid 50s. By end of year one VL was hovering around 50 and CD4 was in the 200-300 range and was able to stop the antibiotics. For some reason I couldnâ??t get to VL undetectable until about 18 months in. Now have been undetectable for last 9 months and CD4 hovers around 300-350. Side-effects are minimal- occasional nausea if I take on an empty stomach. I suspect the drug is facilitating weight gain around my mid-section as I work out frequently and have a hard time keeping weight off. I am considering switching to a newer medication (Jaluca) which only has two active medications instead of three, hopefully will continue to see positive results!

I was diagnosed summer of '17. A few days after I got back from vacation actually. Viral load was in the MILLIONS...thank God I hadn't contracted aids. When I first started triumeq I was absolutely miserable, the NAUSEA and EXTREME irritability put quite a strain on my relationship.marijuana and exercise have definitely played a helpful role in lessening the intensity of the side effects. WOULD NOT TRY TAKING AT WORK. Not until you've had a day off to see how you react to it.Absolutley take with food.sorry not here to scare anyone. So there was a hiccup w my health insurance this last summer and I missed my dosage for a WEEK. Had this not happened I honestly think I would've been unetectable months ago.well Upon yesterday's visit (God Bless AHF dallas) to review my blood work from 1 week a go I am UNDETECTABLE AND STD free! I take my medicine every night , alarm set to 10pm, or my amazing partner will remind me.for the record I have smoked weed almost every night of the last year I have been on triumeq and I am now undetectable! Cutting back on cigarettes has also helped stress tremendously!
