HIV Infection
"Upon diagnosis, my Doctor ordered a genotype testing to see if I have a certain gene type called HLA-B*5701. While waiting for the result, I researched online to compare Triumeq and Genvoya. My Doctor doesn&#039;t feel comfortable with Cobicistat as he worries about drug interactions. I, on the other hand, dislike the potential &quot;gastrointestinal adverse reaction, lactic acid poisoning/acidosis, liver damage and cardiovascular damage&quot; associated with Abacavir, which were denounced by my Doctor as &quot;nonsense&quot;. Furthermore, I have trouble sleeping and am yet to fully quit (now so determined to quit more than ever) smoking, I insisted on taking Genvoya and presented to my Doctor with 10 reasons. He didn&#039;t object in the end."
