I only commenced on the site in April and try to answer all the questions as the come through. As one like this is not in the waiting pile I suspect it has been answered. I tend to delete discourteous requests.
Studies looking at viread as a replacement for d4T are underway but only lipid improvements have been reported thus far. Viread has an important interaction with videx and so may not be the best choice for you. Abacavir is the most well studied option to replace d4T. It may take >1 or even greater than 2 years to see a benefit.
