There is the drugs chart, might be worth giving that a quick check for inspiration: https://www.poz.com/drug_charts/hiv-drug-chart It will also depend on your medical needs, availability, HIV resistance profile etc
Dovato (dolutegravir + lamivudine) & Juluca (dolutegravir + rilpivirine) seem to be somewhat popular, Although DTG would not agree with everyone. Insomnia and it can worsen pre-existing issues like depression.
Personally, I love DTG, works just fine for me.

That's grand, just keep in mind to take feedback with a grain of salt. Every med has good and bad experiences.
Ill send you a PM with the other members name who was taking Delstrigo

Hey there,
I'm on Delstrigo. I've been on it for around 2 months now and I have zero side-effects.
I switched from Biktarvy because of the weight gain due to TAF.

Hi,
I am also on Delstrigo, switched from Triumeq due to depression to Biktarvy, switched from Biktarvy due to weight gain.
Apart from feeling a little itchy skinned (entirely tolerable) I have zero side-effects from Delstrigo.
I was concerned about going to TDF after being on TAF but actually after a chat with my consultant and pharmacist they dispelled any concerns regarding TDF being a older more toxic drug.... for the time being at least while I'm healthy enough to tolerate the TDF.
Was unclear if the integrate inhibitors in Biktarvy and Triumeq were the culprits for the side effects (most likely doluteravir for depression and bictegravir and TAF for weight gain).
Delstrigo is new on the formulary in the UK but so far so good. Finally able to lose weight via gym and diet (I was still putting on weight despite regular gym going and good diet). I feel less bloated and less depressed on Delstrigo.
I haven't had any bloods done yet, however, so hopefully it's kinder on my kidneys and liver and I can continue on it.
Hope all goes well.

That’s great to hear, I think I’m going to ask for it when they call me.
It was genvoya In on currently.
Did you have any problems with fatigue at all on your old regime and have you had any problems with it on delstrigo?
