Question

Switching meds when undetectable…

I am presently on Genvoya for a couple of months. VL=UD CD4 more than 500.

I was on Truvada/Edurant for about 5 years before that.

Due to shortage I might run out of Genvoya for a month. Is it ok to switch back to Truvada/Edurant and then back to Genvoya when available again.

Working on an ship travelling all the 24 hours time zones. Ok to shift one hour a day with medication?

Answer

Hi there

If you had an undetectable viral load when you switched to this new combination, then it is okay to switch back to the previous one.

I understand it must be difficult to you are travelling a lot, but please also tell your doctor about this.

It would be better in the future to find a way to stay on your current combination.

There is enough flexibility with dosing to not worry about being being an hour or two early or late.
