Change of meds... Dec 25, 2011 Hi, I just started my treatment a little over two months ago. I started with truvada, lexiva, boost of norvir, and also bactrim because i was diagnosed with pcp pneumonia... So after two months my viral load went from 256,000 to undetectable, and my CD4 count went from 71 to 414 (is that even possible?? i almost thought it was a mistake but i called my doctor's assistant to confirm) And my doctor is thinking about switching me from my current treatment to atripla... I have had zero side effects with this treatment, but it would also be nice to just take one pill a day... What would you recommend? i feel great now, so i dont know what to do. Thank you |

 Although such a significant increase is unusual, it is certainly possible. I have no objection to switching your HIV meds at this point. You may experience slightly different side effects from the efavirenz in the atripla, although the other two meds in the pill will be the same. | ||||||||
