Has anyone tried some form of antiviral cocktail regimen for their LC?

I'm HIV+ with an AIDS diagnosis and faithfully take a daily cocktail, for the past four years, had LC have lost ability to workout and run, my job, my expertise, my social network due, ad infinitum to LC. Thankfully LC filtered those "friends" who couldn't roll with me during these unimaginably tough times. So, for me personally - doesn't help whatsoever due to the severity of my symptoms. But, if you have the option, go for it. Make sure that you have your liver and kidneys tested frequently. The side effects (though not like the past) are far from pleasant

Hi Littlematters,
Ouch! LC on top of HIV/AIDES! Big HUGS to you! I think we all need some hugs of compassion and understanding…
It’s hard to navigate life when viruses are infecting our bodies - bringing life to a halt! I’ve been homebound for a year after some kind of weird flare up for my 2023 New Year. (I’ve had LC since Jan 2020 but most things resolved over time, but this last one cause heart palpitations, weight gain and muscle weakness/fatigue and brain fog). My earlier symptoms of asthma, and MCAS both got better, I’m hoping this one will too!
As someone who has been on a cocktail for HIV, were you taking Ritonavir? Or what has been your cocktail? Sounds like it helped you still resume life, until LC.
I’m hopeful they will find another cocktail for Covid virus 🙏🏻.
I’ve been taking Paxlovid with ~6 wk blood draws. It’s been fine so far. Although I’m taking a break to see if it’s lost its effectiveness. Do you have to change your cocktail for HIV every so often?
