Tinnitus and ARVs?
« on: September 24, 2016, 04:51:10 pm »
Over the past months since I've started ARV therapy I've had increasing tinnitus. Are there known connections between these type of drugs and tinnitus?

I don't know what ARV's you are on, but the link below leads to the opinion from HIV expert Dr. Joel Gallant that at least ARV's containing Truvada/Prezista/Norvir do not cause tinnitus:

Hi

So I have not heard of any connections between Triumeq and tinnitus.
What did your doctor say about your tinnitus problems?
