side effects of HIV antiviral medications Jul 22, 2009 Is it common for someone on HIV antiviral medications to experience very bad breath? IF so how is it treated or can it be . My coworker's breath is so bad it is very hard to stand 4 feet away from them without smelling their breath. We are struggling to find a way to let them know that their breath is nauseating. Help us help them. Thank you. |

 Hi, Antiretroviral drugs can have many annoying side effects and toxicities; however, bad breath isn't one of them! The usual causes include poor oral hygiene; an infection in the sinuses, mouth or throat; and eating garlic to ward off vampires. If no one wants to confront Mr. Stinky Breath, why not send him a bottle of Listerine anonymously ever day until he gets the hint? Alternatively all coworkers could put clothespins on their noses whenever he opens his mouth. Good luck. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
