I just switched from a Truvada/Isentress regimen to the quad pill.
I had 2 months worth stockpiled (my insurance company requires me to fill prescriptions three months at a time).
I don't know whether this is legal or okay to do, but I don't want these to go to waste as I won't be using them anymore. They will just go in the trash if they don't get used somehow.
These medication has been stored at room temperature, filled 2/2013, expires 2/2015. 120 x Isentress, 60 x Truvada)
If this is not kosher, go ahead and delete this message, moderators. Otherwise, first serious message I receive can have this delivered to them. Shipping to anyone in the US - my dime.

Thank you for your generous post! I sure hope no one deletes it - but it might be good if, over a few months, you monitored this post and the LIVING WITH forum to see if other members need these meds.I have done this, by the way, when I have had extra meds.
Another option is to contact your local ASO. There are ways to get those meds to people who need them via that route as well.
protip: It's not technically legal to do this, so if you DO ship your meds to someone, use a Sharpie and mark out your info. For your protection :)

Check out Aid for Aids International at http://aidforaids.org/
It's a great organization and it is currently having an HIV medicine drive.

Bet, as long as you're not trying to sell your surplus meds to other forum members, then I see nothing. ;)

Thanks for posting this link!
Donating meds locally or to an international organization is a great way to turn trash into gold. :)

I have 2/3 months of atripla - all unpackaged though as I always transfer them to a non descriptive container. Same, anyone wants them get in touch. I'm in UK though so not sure how overseas posting will pan out!

Oh yes I forgot to mention mine are still factory sealed as well. I have no intentions on making a profit from this. In fact, I was even going to pick up the bill for UPS shipping (in the US only).

Could you please let me know If you still have them? I really would like to know. I will apreciatte it.

TabooPrincess, If you still have the extra atripla, I would like to talk to you about them. I have been poz going on 3 years and buy my meds from Panama and India as I have no insurance here in the USA. Paying postage is not a problem.
