Question:

Hi Nelson: I have a question that most of people do not have the courage to ask their doctors. However, some doctors might not necessarily know the right answer. Can a person on antiretroviral drugs take peptides, for better performance at the gym or any other benefit that peptide could be related to. I am taking Triumeq, and I had tried using peptides once before I was diagnosed. I used ipamorelin and MOD1-29. It made an effect on my workout. However, I think there is a myth that peptide affects CD4 production and therefore stimulate HIV virus multiplication. This sounds a bit concerning if it to be true. There are no articles on this subject so I appreciate if you could give some insight or advice.
