 Hello Robert and thanks for your post. If your viral load has been undetectable, then clearly, there's no need to worry. As for taking Atripla and food, the only reason to avoid food while taking the pill is because food in the stomach increases the absorption of the medications slightly-- thereby increasing the possibility of the psychological side effects of efavirenz. If you don't have any side effects while taking the medication with food, then there's no need to change what you're doing. Be well, BY | ||||||||
