| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 Yes, perfectly safe. In fact efavirenz and truvada are combined into one pill now called Atripla, which is given once daily, usually at night. You were taking the efavirenz during the study twice daily because isentress is a drug that is given twice daily, whereas efavirenz and truvada are given once daily. So to maintain the blind, everything was given twice daily. | ||||||||
