![[2019] HIV Doctor Visit! - Biktarvy, drug interactions](/img/1.gif)
I was diagnosed with Hiv July 9th of this year I have my first appointment after my labs to start meds the 14th I am so nervous about this process but watching your videos have eased my mind. Thank you!!
Stay strong 💪
Watch the documentary "positively false"
Glad to hear that my friend! Keep up the good attitude and take it one step at a time. You're gonna be just fine 🙏
Thanks, I will!
Hang in there my friend, and trust that things will work out alright. I'm only two years into my journey of living with HIV, and the number one thing that has helped me is remembering that I am not journeying this alone. We are all with you ~
You really are saving me with these videos. I always get nervous and confused when I'm at the doctor's so seeing someone else go through this helps me understand what to look at for and possibly know what to ask. Thanks man! ☺️
Random thoughts: LMAO. I would never be calm enough to enjoy a snack in the doctor's office. I love your doc. I love that he called you "kiddo." He doesn't seem that old. And last- I have so much freaking respect for the way you manage your own health. I have a chronic condition too, and I wish I could be half as responsible about it as you are. Good for you! 💗
Aw thanks! I do my best...and yea...pretty relaxed here lol I'm like meh...even with needles now...just so used to it
Wow! So exciting being at this dr appt with you! Thank you so much. So beautiful 💙
Haha I'm glad you think so! And not that it was boring af! 😏
Oh yer Raif is the perfect antidote to anyone getting down about their health issues. Very inspiring and lovely guy.
Thank you so much Michael 😊
Oh most definetely!..well spoken, polite and an inspirational speaker..And most importanly handsome el 🙈
I have to say I love the attentiveness of your doctor. it’s hard to find a doctor that at least acts like they are really truly interested in what you’re coming to see them for. mine can work on that. I think I need to find a new one
Isn't he great?! I'm very aware and appreciative of that
CR. I totally understand what you mean. When I am in the situation where the doctor does not resonate with me, I find one who does. For me, that resonance is more important than his medical degrees. Take care, bro...Ray
Excellent video; thank you for sharing!
I was switched over to Biktarvy about a year ago, and my body tolerates it pretty well, minus a little insomnia and slight depression. (Previously was on Descovy/Tivicay) Glad you are doing well my friend! Again, thanks for sharing your journey with all of us. It helps me to feel less alone as we navigate this journey of living our best life while living with HIV.
Good Bobby! I'm glad you feel less alone! Cause we're all certainly not alone...there's so many of us and we're all in it TOGETHER! And I'm glad your body is tolerating Biktarvy pretty well...it's only UP from here with new medications 😉
I had a HIV scare this year it was neg 4th gen after a month 95% accurate it has opened my mind to being more responsible with sex in general . I'm very glad your still doing well and I hope your live gets better and better buddy! 💪💪
Hey Raif, your beautiful body aside, you have a beautiful intense spirit. Thank you for helping so many people, both with HIV and without. I thank you and I encourage you for the great work you are doing by living your life and by sharing it via video. Love you, bro........Ray
Thank you AS ALWAYS for the love and support! 🙏 much love!

Hi Raif good to see you ❤
Good to see ya here too Odette!
Hi Raif, Thanks for sharing your life with us. BTW, you are too cute!!
Hey of course! I do what I can. haha and thank you 😌
TeamRafa Hey, you been following the Cincy Masters 1000? Can’t wait for the finals tomorrow. 😁
What a amazing vlog. Thank you for sharing with all your followers +. It takes a lot of the stigma living with HIV and it just melts away. You are so intoned with your body and soul. Take care, let us know about your blood numbers if that is something you want to share. Big hugs. Jeff
GOOD. that is my intention and my goal! I will def do a follow-up video soon with my lab results!
@@RaifDerrazi Intention 110% successful. Your labs will be great.
YOu have such good doctor. he is very informative
Thanks for sharing the video....and always l wish you all the physical and spiritual best from the heart 🙋🙋🙋😺
Thank you so much! Much love to you!
workout videos and contest prep videos still pending, cool video bro
Yes, yes they are....I need to find a cheap videographer to accompany me to the gym
Doctor looks thrilled to be on camera haha
Thanks for sharing your life with us! I’m completely uninhibited and have no qualms about sharing all aspects of my life with people...but I don’t meet too many people like that...so it’s always so wonderful to watch your videos. I’m glad that people are starting to realize that people with HIV really aren’t any different from us...especially now that they know that U=U! 😁 Your doc’s pretty handsome...I think it’s his disposition that’s the winner. When you get older, looks seem to matter less and less. 👍🏽 He also asks a lot of great questions from a Physical Therapy stand point...and yes, my iliotibial band gets really tight too.
PS - I love that you told her how to pronounce your name properly...I think it’s a beautiful name. 👍🏽
Yea I'm pretty willing to be open with my life too! Doc's a great guy that's for sure!
Raif is so kind and handsome.
Hey Raif. Don’t worry about your CD4 hovering where it does for right now. Mine was 132 when I started treatment. While it only took a few months to get it over 400, it took at least three years to get it to hit 1000. I now typically hover right around 800. The process can definitely take a while. It’s all good :-)
Same case with me.
Thanks guys, good to know!
Raif Derrazi, actually, some good news. I just got half my labs back since I switched from Atripla to Biktarvy a month ago. My CD4 is up to 1037 from 800 where it sat for years. I’m still waiting for my viral load. Keep in mind this is where I’m at today from a CD 4 of 132 several years ago. Good times ;-)
Even better news. I got the rest of my labs. Not only is my CD4 1037 up from around 800, but I’m more undetectable now on Biktarvy than I ever was on Atripla. UCLA, where I’m treated, can count as low as 20 viral particles. On Atripla, I’d always come back as “Detected
Hi. Thanks for sharing. Do you mind sharing your experience with Biktarvy? Any side effects or the impacts on your liver, cholesterol and kidney? Your CD 4 is amazingly high. Does the increase in the number of CD 4 has impacted on the quality of your life? I really appreciate your help and support.
Ah. That answers a question I had on CD4. I’ve started on treatment 3 weeks ago with a CD4 of 159.
I get that bubbly eczema too use betamethasone cream. I am negative. But have bad allergies eczema asthma. I enjoy learning about your journey as I have two uncles who are positive. Ty for sharing your videos are great.
Looking damn good💪🏼
Thank you!
One Love ✌🏻
Amen!
That was interesting about the CD4 count! I always had questions about it but never ask... or forgot to ask. 😅
Right?! I keep a notepad section on my phone for any questions/concerns that pop up over time so I remember to ask them all when I go see the doc every 6 months
Your support is amazing. Thanks for your bravery. I’m on the same meds.. #stopthevirus #support ... do you have an Instagram!!??
Thanks Sean!! Doing my best every day. How's ur experience on Biktarvy? Yes, I have an Instagram...link is in the info box below all my videos or you can search my name!
Raif Derrazi I messaged you on there. Message me back if you want. I_am_sean_michael
Hi. Do you mind sharing your experience with this medication and any side effects you are experiencing?
Hi Raif!
I get those bumps too. Mostly on my hands and fingers. But it’s on the palms and under side of the fingers. It happens maybe once a month or once every two months. Usually if I get sick or under stress is when I see the flair ups. And both effect immune function. So that’s when the bumps arise the most. 🤔
Yep! Same thing for me!
Doctor is really cute and attractive
Lol Dr Gladstein is the BEST
Hey buddy! I know what you mean when everything falls on the same day. Lol. Once your move is done, you can lay around and rest! Lol. Something to look forward to!
Is the hiv medicine very expensive?
PS your doc is cool 😎
I'm finding small pockets of time to rest and lay by the pool but there's always so much to do! The medication is covered by my insurance
Hey buddy!
You're a cool dude !
Xxxxxx
Thanks Niva!!
Nice video
Thank you brother!
This is from 4 years ago. But I am on PreP. If my potential partner is undetectable and taking care of themselves, then I would have no issues if they are +.
I hope you doing well
@2:25 that’s what I had too that made me get tested....
❤
WOW Raif Derrazi,
Amazing content!

Hei i made my cd4 from 6 months in 12.08.19, from last contact wich was in feb . Was 777 is ok? And the arn hiv 1 was undetectable? Could test change in 7 8 or 9 if now is negative?
Take a picture of the psoriasis next time you get it so you can show the doc.
Biktarvy bugün başladım başım dönüyor çok tedirginim ne kadar bu ilacı almam gerekiyor damarlarımda sanki bir şey var hareket ediyor kurkuyorum lütfen biri yardım etsin. Çok üzgünüm 😔😔
🙏❤
🙏❤
Thanks for the video. I started biktarvy one month ago and along this month I feel nausea and much gastric reflux. I dont know if these simptoms will hapen or my doctor have change the treatment.
Hi. Do you mind sharing if you changed your treatment or not? It's hard to find the right medication.
@@shahrzada7180 treatment from dr. matiluko Herb's
I was just switched over to Biktary because Triumeq was killing my stomach. But I broke out in a rash after 3 day’s after on Biktavy. Just feel bad that the Bikyary script is now gonna just sit in my drawer. 😕
Are u switching to something other than Biktarvy then? Have you considered trying it for longer than just the initial week? Sometimes it takes a couple weeks for the body to adjust to new medication
Garrett Hendrickson, hi, what kind of problems got in your stomach with triumeq, because I started on bictarvy 5 months ago and this is killing my stomach.
I need some of the medical please can l get for physical
22+ years + - 1 pill is much better than 22 which was better than none. Love, but keep it real...this isn't new. Hugs though.
You are so cute.
Thaaanks
What medication did you switch from?
I switched from Genvoya
ruclips.net/video/i3AaHdlTjEk/видео.html
Why are you changing your regimen?
I'm not changing it! It's staying the same
He switched back in January.
Those women look so sad because you're handsome with hiv
Awesome 😀🤗😀🤗
Thanks bud!
$4000 a month for Biktarvy It’s cheaper to be straight.
How are your counts now Raif? Mine jump and fall dramatically sometimes. It can be a difference of 500+ cd4s per every 3 months. Lowest was 300 something, highest was almost 1200. Its weird how it fluctuates. It used to make me a bit nervous but it's been so long, no time to be nervous.
I just got my lab results so next week I'll post a video on that!
Hi Raif, is it possible to let me know what is the Dr name and address please im looking for Dr that is caring and knowledgeable like him,Thanks
His name is Dr Gladstein and he's based in Los Angeles
@@RaifDerrazi Thank you so much.
3 dAys ago I had penis white discharge and genital warts on my private part then I went to doctor and test hiv and result was negative !! I have to go again after 3 month for hiv test I’m so scared Tell me plz white discharge and genital wart is a signs of hiv?..
Go see a doctor
You have hpv then it is a sexual transmitted virus that has no cure too. Please, check for that it is called human papilloma virus warts in the genital area it is the main symptom of it.
How do hiv positive people have sex safely?
I'm undetectable so i can't give anyone HIV
Omg! The bumps on feet and hand, i have the same thing and my doctors have seen and really it seems like they do not know about it...nothing has worked for it
Why do they not just tell us about it?
As far as I can tell I believe it's dishydrotic eczema. Mention that to your doctor? My doc gave me a cream that is supposed to lessen the duration and intensity of a breakout but honestly I don't notice much of a difference. I'm just aware that certain things like stress, whether it's mental, emotional or physical can cause it to flare up.
@@RaifDerrazi wow thank you so much dear! I try to keep less stress in my life! I do not know how you found this name. I am going to challenge my doctors with this
I buy hiv medications
email me
johnward69696@gmail.com
I have a doubt you are HIV positive because I want to know if even having the disease you can have muscles
Iván Farrera working out helps a lot with muscles!!
You can absolutely GROW your muscles with HIV. Everyone has muscles or you wouldn't be alive
@@RaifDerrazi I thought that anti-hiv medicine was losing muscle mass and if you worked the muscles would be the same but now I'm sure I can have muscle even having hiv
@@ivanfarrera4289 my muscles grow more after HIV
That female doctor is so awkward. she gives me the chills.
Is that nurse you are talking to
That's siphillis rafy' the bubble going in and out in your hands and foot'. I guess
Na he's been screened for that already I can assure you.
Yea, definitely NOT syphilis lol
I only guessing thu- but thanking its not 💗
He lost me when he said normal. There’s nothing normal about having hiv or going to drs.
