Is Iraq no longer getting mail from other countries?
If your country can get mail from the U.S. or Europe, give me an email to pass along to him (obviously you don't have to give your real email. Just get a temporary email like https://mytemp.email/). I texted him and he's pretty certain he can help you.
Apart from the regular phone alarm app, if you are also on Android, I'd suggest you install Loop - Habit Tracker for Android

I use it as a reminder for almost everything I am currently cultivating a habit for. It is very good, trust me. If you need anything else let me know.
Yes medications help many and may we never forget also killed many, the successful AZT trial showed that. Yes we are n longer going to funerals weekly but rather semiannually.
I am confused of the first two drug formulation. What about Keletra which is lopinavir and ritonavir. LPVr+ Atazanavir + cobicistat, or ATV/COBI (Evotaz) or what is called fixed dose medications Like Truvada and Combivir and trivir.
Great that you found a form of spirituality practice that works for you. I find that many turn to faith in times of difficulty to help them realize / affirm ones connection to spirit or some form practice that helps an individual along. (Jon Kabat- Zinn ( Full Catastrophe Living)
Whenever I was traveling with family, I used to carry one of these and just kept it in my suitcase. Fortunately I don't have any family members that would pay much attention to it. I could just grab it, go into the bathroom at night when I brush my teeth, then take my meds, and put it back in my suitcase.
If you can use something like that to carry them in, then I'd stick with a reminder on your phone or watch (a repeating 24 hour one), that might work for you. The modern day meds are a lot more forgiving with variance in the time you take them. My doctor said as long as I take them within a 6 hour period, I'm good. I test that out often, and haven't had any negative effects in the past 30 years.
You could try a pill container with timer like this
How about a book? I just finished a good one about shutting down intrusive thoughts to open up your life. It’s really good! Have a peek here maybe?
Buy a pill carrier for your keys. They are small and discrete and cost very cheap on Amazon. I put my pill in every night (set a reminder) and take it in the morning. Then you dont need to do anything to remind yourself you can just shake your keys to know you took it.

A weekly pill dispenser is a good idea, but if you're only taking one or two pills a monthly dispenser like this (link) is more convenient imo
24 just passed a year on Biktarvy. Side effects post was because my timing was off by 3-5 hours per day
I take mine at 4pm Because I still have food in my stomach from lunch and that’s enough to pad the medication as I call it
The closer I take it to the same time every day the less stomach aches and other weirdness I have.
When moving the time move it slowly 1hr a day
Most people have no side effects mine were all gi related. And showed up 9 months after starting. I theorize it has to do with gut bacteria.
Anyways same time every day TookMag Pill Organizer 2 Times a... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0876HKK4B?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This pill organizer is a life saver. And if people ask you just say it’s for your vitamins. That little disk fits in my pocket easy af and I can shoot back my meds in under 1min faster than most people even notice.
I recommend this one https://www.amazon.com/Bioderma-Atoderm-Intensive-Nourishing-Sensitive/dp/B0161ZC5GY all of their Atoderm range creams are exceptional, and offer good value for money. I use them even on my face and have never had any issues
I take mine within about a 4 hour block every day. Alarm set for 7pm that reminds me every half an hour, around dinner so I can take it with my meal. I use Lady Pill Reminder for Android 😂 it's easy and simple. Sometimes I take it at 5, sometimes at 11 or 12, but usually between 7 and 9. I try to be diligent about taking it right when my alarm goes off, even if it just means eating a few chips or a chocolate. My Dr said even if I just grab a drink of something besides water to activate my stomach acids I should be good.
It's not like birth control that regulates your hormone cycles very precisely, these drugs stay active throughout your system for a couple days. I think of it like topping up your gas tank before it gets close to empty.
I haven't had problems with keeping myself undetectable in these 5 years with this routine on Genvoya, but this is purely anecdotal. The doctors say take it regularly because that is what was studied. It would probably be unethical to tell patients to take the meds inconsistently just to study the effects
I use Atripla myself and have always taken cold medicines when needed. And I’ve been undetectable for as long as I started taking them.
But if you want a natural remedy, take oregano oil.

I buy mine on Amazon but you can probably find it in grocery stores. Have your boyfriend take a drop down his throat. Taste is nasty! But it does the trick especially in this winter season.
Seriously, get the book then. It's here - https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-New-Mood-Therapy/dp/0380810336 - and your library may have a copy for free.
Who in your life can you talk with? Friend, family?
I'm really sorry things seem so shitty.
You could get one of these. That would allow you to discreetly bring your pills with you everywhere and then you can just discreetly administer your pill. If someone does happen to see you medicating, hopefully they're tactful enough not to say anything but if they do you can politely tell them that's a weirdly inappropriate line of inquiry.
