Taking T-20 Injection To Treat HIV For Long Time. Will It Affect My Bladder?

Thanks for the query.
I understand your problem and will try my best to address it.
First off, it's important to understand that as we get older, our bodies' ability to hold fluids for long periods decreases, thanks to a decline in antidiuretic hormones. So even though we're drinking the same amount, we have to go the bathroom more often.
Since your prostate is normal,it could be due to over active bladder and consumption of more water and alcohol before your sleep.
I don't think that HIV medications are the culprit for your problem.
Here are strategies that can help relieve pressure on the bladder
Don't drink liquids for three hours before bedtime which includes alcohol.
Cut down consumption of coffee and tea, which irritate the bladder.
Avoid eating foods with high liquid content, such as soup or fruit, for dinner or after dinner.
I would advise you to consult a urologist and discuss with him about the issue of over active bladder.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
