Day 3 of being diagnosed and watching your channel helps me to know im going to be okay ..its really going to be okay ....thank you thank you for just being you
Absolutely my friend. You're going to be MORE than okay...just be patient with yourself and be kind to yourself and realize that it's gonna take time to get used to.
Hey Raif thanks for your videos I got diagnosed about 7/8 years ago o went from beeing in almost stage condition to turning to heroin to help deal with the pain I had from my diagnosis im currently nearly off my medication (methadone) and will be doing to a detox for the last bit, I’m going to put my all into lifting again, I just wanted to shout out because you know what I’m going thru it’s hard man still but your a prime example that you can live a happy life abs build a good physique regardless of diagnose… thank for brother really thank you
Good morning dear Raif. I enjoyed your video! So good to see you and your beautiful dog! I try to take supplements too - found a lot of different kinds of protein and other kinds of powders at a HUGE discount due to store sales and product closeouts, so I feel blessed. I am going to be outside working in the yard soon...I will pray for you today.
Woohoo! That's awesome. I LOVE me some discounted supplements. I used to stalk GNC until my favorite products were discounted because they would expire in a few months...the best lol
@Rauf Derrazi: What's the best anturetroviral for bodybuilders? I'm under the impression that at one time long ago some sort of fat was added to the prescription in order to keep the patients from loosing weight. Educate me... thanks!
Hey Raif :) What time do you take your biktarvy then? And also, for how long have you been taking creatine? Does your creatinine (kidney) lab results show up high?
In January I had lab work done and my creatinine level was at 1.11...normal range being 0.60-1.35. Perfectly normal. I've been taking creatine daily for years.
Yeah creatine does! But your all lucky! I had to do years and years on tenofovir disoproxil and the disoproxal part caused irreversible kidney damage! They have no made a new version or tenofovir that’s in biktarvy.. and it doesn’t cause kidney damage.. but mine are damaged from it and my creatinine always came back high.. but you guys don’t need to worry about it as your not on the kidney toxic one
@@RaifDerrazi You can take 5grams of creatine about 3-4 times a day. People don’t realise that, they did tests and saw it causes no kidney damage at all even with years on 20grams creatine a day. If your on testosterone you can utilise a lot more creatine. Just heard you say your natural.. I respect that but brother I promise you HIV is not natural.. HGH and hormones are our absolute lifeline - I don’t want to live with HIV without them that’s how important they are. It’s just a helping hand as we need that, we have something destroying us and ARVs are super toxic so HGH is a godsend, it renews every single cell in the body, it makes lipodystrophy vanish before your eyes.. BTW, boron the supplement increases your free testosterone drastically
Hi Raif! I'm currently on LTE. However, my creatinine keeps on going overboard that my doctor and nephrologist told me to stop taking it. . I've turned to protein supplements because it helps me reach my goals, but now I am told not to take it or else I'll have more health issues to deal with. Can you recommend a better supplement that is safe for the kidneys?
Neo Idnu Majab Hmmm that’s odd. My doc said it’s not an issue related to kidney/liver unless a person already has underlying issues with those organs. He said that it can impact creatinine levels and that doctors use that to gauge how the kidneys are doing. However, creatinine can go up but ur kidneys can actually be fine. So there’s some correlation there but doesn’t necessarily mean ur kidneys aren’t okay. I’ve been taking protein and creatine every day for years and my body’s just fine. But everyone is different too. And certainly my doctor said protein is just fine. But a lot of doctors are ultra careful about it, tho I haven’t seen a reason to be in my case
@@RaifDerrazi Oh wow thank you for this! Maybe doctors are really just ultra careful knowing our condition. But you know, I've seen worse! lol. I'll check out these links!
Like I said, creatinine levels are a MARKER that MAY indicate that you are having kidney issues but it doesn't mean that you are...and creatine CAN make creatinine levels rise, regardless of whether you have kidney issues or not
PLEASE ANSWER, is it ok for an HIV poz, undetectable guy, who otherwise does not have low T levels, to go on TRT [for aesthetic purposes], like 250mg/week of Test enanthate? pros and cons?
Mr. Derrazi, I wanted to pick your brain. I take BCAAs and pea protein (I have a severe food allergy to whey and casein)...I have a bottle of glutamine that I bought 6 months ago...do you think it’d be a good addition to the BCAAa and protein shakes?
I'm 8months + ... Positive now (come to think of it ..at this moment I have only stated that fact here for now) ... I did a home test ... I'm fairly educated with HIV ... And after my divorce I suspected I am exposing myself to infection .... That happened ... And I am not discouraged .... But I met a girl ... 8months ago .. we are still together and I don't know how to tell her ... I have infected her with HIV ...my heart pains when I think of it .... please help me find a way to tell her
Is Jym a safe brand to take? I’m taking baktarvy and they said stay away from calcium and iron and I was reading the ingredients and it has high dose of those ingredients?
@@RaifDerrazi Raif can u do me a big favor? Would you be willing to make a video about self acceptance of ones sexual orientation? I have a young friend that is gay and is having a hard time dealing with it. He is so troubled he has a hard time going to church. Anything u can do for chuck would be awesome. Thanks

There is more hope. Don't worry cos there is nothing wrong with you. Just chill, be happy and be yourself. 😍😍

Oh Duke DEFINITELY steals the show, haha. He's such a sweetheart
@@RaifDerrazi He gets it from his daddy! 😚
Sir
Do you think a person taking ARVs need to slog more to build muscle than those who are negative?

Im on TLD and my s-creatinine levels went up and I lost weight. Is biktarvy better for kidney health than TLD?

The creatine may have a negative effect on your kidneys.
I've taken it daily for years and it hasn't had any negative effect
That's a lot of pills every day. Are you not concerned about the effects on your kidneys?
Diagnosed 8 years ago here. I am also doing gym this is informative
