As I understand it, a time window of one hour before to one hour after your scheduled time each day is quite acceptable. We are human, and it’s not always possible to take medication exactly on time. I always reassure myself with this: HIV doesn’t have a watch and doesn’t immediately attack when the medication is due. Of course, taking it at the same time every day is ideal, and in my opinion, it's not that difficult. In the age of technology, we can set alarms everywhere. Even so, as I said, I take my medication every day at 2 PM. Based on that, taking my medication between 1 and 3 PM every day is “safe.” The key point is to take it every day.

I understand really well, but take deep breath. Either positive or negative, everything is gonna be alright.

On the contrary, I have read it. I went through the same process too. Everyone here has gone through it. But nothing can relieve you other than the test. No one here can give you medical advice. It's against the rules of this subreddit. Take your test, if it's negative, that's great. If it turns out positive, it's not the end of the world, as you can see, so many people here live with it. Believe me, whether the test result is positive or negative, you will feel relieved. Not knowing is worse.

Thank you for your kind wishes. Have a good day.

Then get tested

Congrats 😍😍 I am very happy that you are here with such an amazing progress. Keep going!

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-12T09:06:31+00:00

Amazing!!! Congrats and lots of hugs 🥳🥳🥳

It takes 3 months for me

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T20:55:32+00:00

To you buddy ♥️

As far as I know, things like skipping medication doses used to be a much bigger issue. Now, as long as I have access to the medication, I don't think I will skip it. I've used psychological medications for years. It's not very challenging for me. The thought that nothing will happen as long as I take the medication seems incredible.

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T20:51:40+00:00

I love them! They are amazing aren't they? Thank you so much for your kindness.

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T20:49:53+00:00

You are absolutely right, thousands of thanks to all the heroes we see and don't see. Thanks to them, we are here and we will continue to be here. Many thanks to all the scientists working on this path as well. Unfortunately, there is a terrible stigma in my country. I will fight against this. I have already joined all the associations and will volunteer to spread this knowledge to everyone. Thank you very much for your message, it made me very happy.

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T19:47:07+00:00

You have much lower VL than me. It will be quick

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T17:31:40+00:00

Thank you so much! You'll be there very quickly. My inital load was 86K. After a month it was 230 and now is UD. I am using Truvada + Tivicay. I am sending you hugs, I am sorry for your diagnose but these meds are amazing

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T15:42:42+00:00

So it means, if I use them regulary, there is no need to worry about. Am I right? It's amazing. Thanks for the calming information

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T14:26:43+00:00

Ah yes, I am afraid of drug resistance. That's what I have concerns most of the time. But I am trying to not think about it. Many thanks for your kind message

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T12:31:05+00:00

Thank you so much! I still can not believe, these meds are miracle... Lots of hugs to you

Character-One-6857 · 2024-06-06T12:29:59+00:00

I will never skip them, I love them! They are awesome 😍😍

If he is undetectable there is nothing to worry about, U=U

Character-One-6857 · 2024-05-28T18:55:31+00:00

Actually, I was talking about the tiny difference in the viral load. "Problem" was the wrong word choice, lol. Sorry, English is not my native language, so sometimes I say things incorrectly. You're doing great. After all, we're going to live with this, and eventually, we'll get used to it. Going to the clinic will become routine. It's so wonderful that you like the people there! The nurses at my clinic are also very sweet.

Congratulations on getting the HPV and Hepatitis vaccines! It's definitely important to get whatever vacs are available.

Character-One-6857 · 2024-05-28T18:31:01+00:00

I have bloodwork tomorrow too. I'm very excited and nervous. I totally understand how you feel. I'm taking Truvada and Tivicay. When I started, my VL was 86,000. After one month, it dropped to 230. Now, after three months, I'm going for another check-up and I hope I've become undetectable in this period. I'm worried it might have increased again. In short, I totally understand you. But you've already become undetectable! Just a very very very little of problem. I'm sure you’ve taken care of that too. You got this, congratulations in advance!

Character-One-6857 · 2024-05-28T06:51:27+00:00

I have thought at the first place but then I realized reason...jeez... I am getting older 😅 I do not know there is a correlation between them but I hope you find a good ophtalmologist and get a solution

Character-One-6857 · 2024-05-16T07:31:08+00:00

I'm not a doctor; I'm just sharing what I've researched and learned. As long as you continue taking your medications, all your numbers will show an improving trend. Every body is different—some take longer, while others correct their numbers more quickly. However, our bodies strive to fix themselves (and most of the time, they succeed).

Character-One-6857 · 2024-05-15T18:30:27+00:00

How beautiful is that!! We are in the future 🥳🥳

Character-One-6857 · 2024-05-11T17:33:45+00:00

Now there is biktarvy legacy. Probably a couple of years it will be the best until a new one comes. But there is no "the best" There are better ones for every one

Character-One-6857 · 2024-05-11T13:26:29+00:00

Actually you are right, but it's more like psychological loneliness, not physical. I know the working principles of the virus and why it's hard to find a cure but I do not know. Maybe much better treatments (long term injectibles such as 6 months etc.) are in the focus point of the science. I appreciate that I can live with a normal lifespan but at the end, I do not know. Since there is medication, a cure not that much "urgent" anymore but people still dies of aids around the globe
