 Hello and thanks for posting. So long as your viral load was undetectable during treatment with both Atripla and the Truvada/Isentress regimens, there is no reason to think that there's drug resistance, and therefore, no reason to think that switching back will have any problems. If you've had difficulty with both regimens, one should ask if a different "third agent", such as rilpivirine (part of Complera), elvitegravir (part of the new Quad) or a protease inhibitor might help. Alternatively, could it be that the side effects that you're experiencing are due to one of the medications in Truvada (tenofovir/FTC)? Hope that helps, BY | ||||||||
