Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello Tom, Dual-PI therapies can be effective HAART regimens; however, since TMC-114 is still experimental, we don't have a lot of experience with this particular agent in a dual-PI setting. Regarding tenofovir renal toxicity, your HIV specialist should be able to evaluate your renal function and advise you whether tenofovir is a potential problem or not. If your HIV specialist is uncertain, get a second opinion. Good luck, Tom. Dr. Bob |
