Hey there! I was diagnosed with hiv last december 2017, started my hiv meds by january 2018, the 3 in one meds. Side effects are so bad so i stopped taking it on july 2018.

This previous weeks i just notice my weight is deteriorating again, lost of appetite like i can only taste the saltiness of the foods. I lost like like 5kilos already. Im reaserching again in youtube now on stopping my hiv medication and found your video
melvin cong Hello Melvin, thank you for your comment and for sharing your story. I honour your courage and determination to find your own answers and balance. For me, the secret to stay healthy with HIV and without meds has been to control my emotions and my mind. For years I tried to convince myself with scientific arguments of RethinkingAids without much help. I was still getting sick and weak. Few times I started and quit the HIV treatment. I tried diets, products, change of habits, all kinds of alternative healing, energy healing, positive affirmations, etc. And none of it actually worked. My mind was still killing me with doubts, fears, anxiety, insecurity, anger, and depression. It has taken me years to find the capacity to silence my mind and with it to control my emotions. After 12 years of trial and error, I can say the two must powerful practices I have today are: 1. www.Tappilini.co.uk This is a discipline, more like a full therapy. I practice this every day . Full 25mins. 2. Kundalini Yoga NABHI KRIYA. to balance emotions and strengthen the 3chakra. If you still don’t know anything about chakras an energy, you’re up for a big ride. Check: www.3ho.org/kundalini-yoga/chakras/nabhi-kriya And finally, 3. I supplement myself with the best products I’ve found in the market which I now recommend and distribute. USANA Check: eduardoblancouk.usana.com - Please let me know if you have any questions or want more info. Much LoveAlways x 333 🙏🏽❤️
I belive depending on the strain of the virus, it can be a slow progressing disease but again I have heard that it has progressed very quickly in some people. I admire you for all the self care work you have done in the past few years. It seems that you didn't choose an easy way out of just taking the medication, which is amazing. I'm just wondering how the CD 4 can be recovered without any medication and if the virus becomes resistance if the medication stops. I'm also wondering how long it took for your CD 4 to go below 200 without medication? I appreciate you for sharing.
Shahrzad A To be honest I don’t know. I’m not very scientific, actually I’m not scientific at all. My approach has been 100% holistic. I don’t really measure cD4 or count viral loads. But I can share the emotional impact of not being on meds has been huge. In the past, the fear or being wrong, the fear of rejection, the fear of death, the fear of pain all increased without medication, and when emotions got out of hand, and my health declined with opportunistic diseases attacking my body, restarting treatment was the only way to calm down and regain some peace of mind and balance in my health. In time, I learn to control my mind but first needed to find and then heal the real origin of my fears, insecurities and doubts. And that takes a lot of retrospection and therapy. In my case, meditation was the answer to all my questions. And that was enough to begin the hearing process. To the point where I’m now. Thank you so much for your questions. I hope my answer is helpful 😘🙏🏽❤️
Thanks a lot for sharing. Physically, you look great. I'm wondering how meditation can work in conjunction with taking medication? Also, I was wondering if medication can cause any weight gain, tiredness and fatigue? What symptoms do you experience when u stop taking your medication. Thanks for replying to me.
Shahrzad A Im going to share something I’m realising for the first time this time round. Im beginning to feel my body getting stronger and actually gaining muscle mass and solidity, even without gym and at my age since I stop treatment almost 3 months ago. If i didn’t have the curiosity to know how much I can control my mind and my emotions, I would probably take the HIV treatment without a problem. I think they are great, and all the support you get from doctors and nurses is also amazing. Living without HIV meds is a very lonely road. And I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. This is not a choice for the faint hearted. One has to build a very powerful sense of self, meaning and strength. Otherwise, we can spiral into the worst of darkness, pain and disease. But in the journey that I am, I’m finding very inspiring the more I discover about myself by taking full responsibility over my mind and emotions, and with it, so far, health is happening. And I hope with all my heart it continues this way. But as I always say: Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Thanks for sharing. I'm just curious to figure out how long someone can go without taking medications. Some people claim that they didn't take medication for 20 years. I've heard of someone who went from hiv to aids in 8 months. I guess it's different for each person. They claim that you can live a long and healthy life with today's medication with minimum side effects. I'm not sure if there is any truth to that or not but it seems some people are doing relatively well with once a day medication.
Shahrzad A Im going to make a video talking about my journey with hiv meds. I think will explain better than just a post. Thank you for giving me material to work with 🙏🏽😘
Do you know how long it takes for the virus to progress to aids? If you don't mind sharing, what was your viral loads and CD 4 when you were first diagnosed? What symptoms did you experience prior of getting tested? I really appreciate your help?
Hi. How do you usually feel when you stop taking medication? Does it impact on your health? In the USA, Biktarvy is prescribed, which is a once a day pill with min side effects. I was wondering if you are taking Truvada still or do they switch you.
Shahrzad A This time has been completely different than any other time before. This time my mind does not worry or fear, which always were the first symptom after stopping treatment. Then symptoms like loss of appetite, loss to energy, and/or stomach problems would follow right after. That’s why I was convinced that I needed to be able to control my mind if I was going to ever be able to stop my medication safely. Now, I have no suffered any loss. My energy levels, strength, appetite, peace of mind... everything is normal. I have not felt much different from before when I was on treatment. 👉🏽However, even though I was taking medication (Rizolsta and Truvada) for the last 3 years I only took half the dosis. Cutting the pills in half every night, and still with the same results: UNDETECTABLE.
Shahrzad A I also have to add that right at the beginning, before I even started medication, I lived 10 years refusing treatment. Back then, things got really bad. My fears and worries turned into anxiety and paranoia and many times I needed hospitalisation. I had great support and teachers around me, and I learned to about emotions, trauma, addiction, fears, regret, anger, and into lots and lots of detail of my conditions, diseases and illnesses. What I’m sharing today is the result of 12 years of research and introspection. And it hasn’t been easy. 12 years ago becoming what I’ve become was a dream and nothing more. Today is a reality. The only reality that matters, peace and harmony between body and mind 🙏🏽❤️ Do you mind me asking, where are you in your journey? What’s your HIV story?
How do you feel when you are taking the medication vs. When you are not taking it? Have you noticed any interruption in your daily activities when taking medication?
Shahrzad A The only difference is that when I don’t take medication al the responsibility of my health is given to the doctors and I can just entertain myself doing whatever else. I feel absolutely fine, more than fine, I feel strong and worry and fear free.... I feel disempowered thou. When I DONT take medication, I feel like I’m caring the whole world on my shoulders. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and has been very frightening. BUT I feel very empowered and connected to my spirituality and sense of self. I realise the process of stopping treatment has been one of forgiveness, letting go of fear whist embracing vulnerability and love. I don’t stop medication because I believe is the right thing to do or I want to prove other people wrong. I stop treatment because it gives me the opportunity to know what my weaknesses and vulnerabilities are. And then I can work on making those weaknesses my strength. 🙏🏽❤️

Do you mind me asking, where are you in your journey? What’s your HIV story?
Also, what noticeable side effects did you experience when you are taking medication?
Shahrzad A I never experienced any strong or heavy side effects.
