My name is Mike. After a misdiagnosis last year, here I am and poz. I lost a lot of weight and in the last six months, bounced back tremendously. I look like the old me again. I was switched a few months back to Prezista, Truvada and Norvir after initially being started on Kaletra and Combivir, and a host of other pain and appetite stimulators - which I never needed lol. I asked someone at my clinic if they would take all the meds I have to give to someone else and was told the law did not allow it. Someone gave me a number of someone locally that took them to help people domestically and internationally with them but she never called me back. I'm in the Dallas / Ft Worth area and would be more than willing to help someone out with a listing of what I have..
