It was a Big Day for me yesterday :))) After almost 2 years when I found out I was hiv+, I finally decided to start my treatment. So it was the first morning when I got a dose of Eviplera yesterday. Any opinions about this medicine?
I was (and still I am) REALLY scared of side effects... well, it's passed 34,5 hours and I'm still feeling good and alive🙀🙈🙊 So... The only one difference was I slept almost all the night🙀😁 As I can't remember when it happened☺️😁

I do not know lol All the time my results were good. I was almost undetectable as well (vl was from undetectable to 1000 (the highest)). But the doctors said it's better to start treatment sooner... I would had to start it one day So decided to do it now.
My consultant once told me that if we could see our immune systems on the outside they would look as different to each other as our faces do. It's quite normal for yours to be 'different' glad to hear you are on meds now and dealing well with them. Half the issue is dealing with the emotional side - once you have that under wraps everything else will be easier
Hi there. I've not taken Eviplera, so I haven't got an insight to it. Not everyone gets side affects to Meds. So try not to worry. Feel good that your doing the best thing for you and your friends and family. Have a great day!!
Hey! I'm on eviplera and the only draw back is you have to eat with it!! I've been on it for two years and all good!
I remember taking my first one and actually took time off work I was so worried - I think I expected some dramatic reaction hahaha - it becomes routine so go with it and give it all chance to settle down - good luck mate!
Yea I take mine in the morning too, 09:00) it is sometimes a little tying, especially when out of my normal routines - sometimes I end up having breakfast in unusual situations hahah
I have been taking Eviplera since 2013 now. I personally had no side effects from this medication. While it may see like a chore having to eat with it, I built this into my breakfast routine; I always try to have porridge for breakfast as it's good for calories, and it brought down my Cholesterol incredibly!
Omg... I just missed my dose today :(((( Could it be no more effective after one missed dose..? I mean, I do not care about vl count as it was almost undetectable all the time so it shouldn't has any effect to it... I'm just worrying if it is still going to be effective... :(((
Nothing to worry about at all. The odd missed dose will not make a difference. They say you need something like 95% adherence though. As long as you take your next dose, you'll be absolutely fine and your meds will still be effective. I'm taking a rather old drug that is quite sensitive to missing doses, but mine is still effective 8 years on and I've missed a few doses over the years. No need to stress. Hope you're ok.
