hiv infection
"Diagnosed HIV positive in July 2013. 


Treatment was started immediately after my resistance tests and numbers came back from the lab.

September 2013 Started Stribild
Viral Load 420,000   CD4 220

I was very nervous about a bad reaction to HIV meds. 

Viral Load dropped to 320 after 30 days. CD4 up to 300.
Nausea, Headaches and a buzzed energetic feeling after taking the pill were the only side effects I felt. This only lasted about 3 weeks and came at random times. The wired feeling from the pill took a few months to go away.  Dreams are intense sometimes but not bothered by it. After the drastic viral load drop it stayed around 100 copies for months. It took me 6 months to become undetectable which I have remained for 4 months now."
