HIV Doctor Visit - August 2019 [Biktarvy & Updates] 

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! 💗

Oh yer Raif is the perfect antidote to anyone getting down about their health issues. Very inspiring and lovely guy.

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

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!!

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! 💪💪

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.

Your smile lights up the room 😘💕

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! ☺️

Wow! So exciting being at this dr appt with you! Thank you so much. So beautiful 💙

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

Hey Raif brother good to see you my friend much love here.❤

Your support is amazing. Thanks for your bravery. I’m on the same meds.. #stopthevirus #support ... do you have an Instagram!!??

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 :-)

Hi raif every time.i saw your video that your ok, my feeling is blessed.. I always. Check your updated.videos..i fell in love with you since i saw you..thanks for inspiring me

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

I love you so m uch you are just so sweet I’m so mad so Pissed than a nasty guy gave you this and now you are alone at the hospitals clinic going through all this ... by the way I’m Moroccan too from Canada I love you and support you ❤️

Hi Raif, Thanks for sharing your life with us. BTW, you are too cute!!

Doctor looks thrilled to be on camera haha

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 😎

Hi Raif good to see you ❤

workout videos and contest prep videos still pending, cool video bro

Raif is so kind and handsome.

Thanks for sharing the video....and always l wish you all the physical and spiritual best from the heart 🙋🙋🙋😺

That was interesting about the CD4 count! I always had questions about it but never ask... or forgot to ask. 😅

YOu have such good doctor. he is very informative

Doctor is really cute and attractive

Why are you changing your regimen?

Ah. That answers a question I had on CD4. I’ve started on treatment 3 weeks ago with a CD4 of 159.

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?

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. 🤔

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 😔😔

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.

What medication did you switch from?

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 +.

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. 👍🏽

Take a picture of the psoriasis next time you get it so you can show the doc.

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.

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.

I need some of the medical please can l get for physical

One Love ✌🏻

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.

Those women look so sad because you're handsome with hiv

Hi Raif!

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

WOW Raif Derrazi, Amazing content! JoseTheVegan on RU-vid

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. 😕

@2:25 that’s what I had too that made me get tested....

Looking damn good💪🏼

Hey buddy! You're a cool dude ! Xxxxxx

$4000 a month for Biktarvy It’s cheaper to be straight.

I hope you doing well

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?..

How do hiv positive people have sex safely?

🙏❤

❤

Nice video

You are so cute.

Is that nurse you are talking to

I buy hiv medications

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?

That female doctor is so awkward. she gives me the chills.

I have a doubt you are HIV positive because I want to know if even having the disease you can have muscles

Awesome 😀🤗😀🤗

That's siphillis rafy' the bubble going in and out in your hands and foot'. I guess

He lost me when he said normal. There’s nothing normal about having hiv or going to drs.
