 Hello, Truvada+ Efavirenz (Sustiva, Stocrin) = Atripla. The only difference is the number of pills (2 vs 1). You could certainly start on the two pill combination and when (if) available, switch to the single pill (triple drug) combination later. Many of my patients did exactly that several years ago.
