| Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, Assuming your buddy is adherent with his medication regimen and does not have an intercurrent opportunistic illness that might be driving his CD4 counts down, I would be concerned that he has developed resistance to one or more of the drugs in his Viraday(generic Atripla). I would recommend he be evaluated by his HIV specialist physician and get HIV resistance testing (genotype/phenotype). This will determine if resistance has developed and be of assistance in selecting a new combination regimen for him. Dr. Bob | |||||||||
