 I think that suggested regimen one is probably the better choice. There is an interaction between Viread and Reyataz that significantly lowers the blood levels of Reyataz (Viread is a component of Truvada). In order to use Truvada with Reyataz it would be best to add Norvir (100mg) to boost the Reyataz blood levels. Hope this helps and best luck to you. | ||||||||
