Larry takes
DTG + RPV + DRV/c
Tivicay, Edurant, Prezcobix
while I use
DTG + DRV/c
Tivicay, Prezcobix
Now that I'm writing this down, I realize I'm basically on a dual therapy. Not bad for how many ARVs I've used through the years, along with several bouts of resistance. Take that, all you "salvage" regimens I had to go through to get to this point! I do also take acyclovir daily, which while not an ARV does have antiviral properties.
Epivir/3TC is an interesting one. I developed resistance to it way back when. Which was an f-ing bother as it is such a tiny pill in comparison to the huge norvir/Ritonavir capsules I was also taking in that regimen. (I mean, really! If I had to lose a medication it couldn't be the terrible ones or the huge ones; but the easiest of all ARVs to swallow. UGH! LOL) It's interesting because the mutation itself is defective and eventually a patient will lose the mutation and be able to use epivir again.
well, I downloaded a thesis study about DTG + DRV/c from the 25th CROI to read on our plane trip to AZ next week (Larry and I are going to visit his family out there). Just a little light reading to break up from my MM novels.
