[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 75834, member: 3"] You are taking AZT (zidovudine or ZDV), a drug that we stopped using in the US over 5 years ago due to extreme toxicity to mitochondria and muscle mass. It also causes lipoatrophy of the face, extremities and buttocks. It can affect hormones also. I took it for 5 years and it caused all kinds of issues back in the 90's for me. No hormone program will work well while you are on that toxic drug. [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Roboto-Bold] [URL="https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/guidelines/htmltables/1/5270"]Antiretroviral Therapy-Associated Common and/or Severe Adverse Effects[/URL][/FONT][/COLOR] I would ask to switch your regimen to Isentress + Truvada. Truvada has none of AZT's issues. Be ready for them to push back in Colombia since Truvada is more expensive than AZT. However, that may change soon since Truvada became generic in the US last month.
