Steroids
Nov 29, 2009

Hi Mark,

I am currently one truvada, ritonavir and Darunavir, i have only been taking for 1 month but all side effect have no gone and i feel settled with the drugs.

My question is, i would like to take steroids, for body building, but i want an expert opinion on which ones you would recommend, i was thinking i might take Deca (400mg at week) and Sustanon(at 500mg a week)

Will these interact with any of my hiv medication?

Many thanks in advance

Response from Dr. Holodniy

Sorry, I can't make a specific recommendation. However, there is the possibility for some interactions with your HIV meds, as the ritonavir could potentially inhibit the metabolism of anabolic steroid products resulting in higher levels and the possibility of augmented side effects.
