5th Week!


It's my fifth week today of taking the ARV's. I mentioned before that these are my medicines: tenofovir, lamivudine and efavirenz. I take them all at exactly 10pm as prescribed by my doctor and has never missed taking them. I am also on cotrimoxazole everyday and azithromycin once every week.

So far I am very ok. No rashes, no skin blotches, no depression or vivid dreams, no diarrhea, no fever. For two months now, I don't get sick fast unlike months before I got diagnosed (I had on and off fever, and frequent diarrhea). I workout regularly, still eats 6-7x a day which made me gain 26 pounds in a month. My skin looks better. Friends and neighbors say that I look better now. I am happy.
