My partner and I tested negative, however when she had a miscarriage she was given a med called Tribuss. I thought this was a HIV med.

Side effects when switching aren’t common. However this isn’t to day that it can’t happen. Are you able to talk to your doctor about this?

Hi Spakes,
I’m not sure about your question because it’s not quite finished. But I am sorry to hear your boyfriend is unwell. If he has TB it’s a good idea to make sure the doctor is treating TB as well as HIV.
