Discuss this with your HIV doctor as some of the HIV medications that you are on can increase your levels in the blood and thus it would be hard to monitor your kidney function.

Yes you can use creatinine when you are HIV infected as long as you do not have a kidney problem. This helps in building your proteins making you less weak, since HIV causes weakness, but it is important to consult your doctor first before taking it since it might react with other drugs you are taking for HIV.

It depends on what anitretrovirals you are on and you need to talk to your doctor about this. The concern is that you already have higher CK and creatine levels due to the HIV and the medications and combining this with exogenous creatine, which is renally cleared may be hard on the kidneys.
