Best ARV’s to suppress viral load and improve CD4 count
So as the heading reads, I need some help with which ARV is best to be on right now. I’m 29 years old going to be 30 next month and I’m from Pretoria South Africa. I was diagnosed beginning of 2019 and I was put on Trenvir from then until the end of last year. Someone told me about Dolutegravir and that it was better than Trenvir due to the regimens that it contains. So I changed to that end of last year as I told my doctor about it and he said if my CD4 count has shown much improvement then I’ll try out this Dolutegravir. Now someone else is telling me that a medication that only has one regimen is dangerous for me as it could severely reduce my CD4 count and should I get even a cold or flu I could end up in hospital or die.
I’m freaking out now coz I was looking at all my previous blood work and my CD4 count has never been 500+ according to the standard of WHO.
Can someone please help me out here? Apparently Tralavue is pretty good and helps with your CD4 count and the regimens contained in it isn’t as hectic as the ones on Trenvir or majority of ARV’s. I don’t want to risk getting any kidney damage in the near future.
Appreciate any kind of advice!
