The majority of patients on ARVs work and have generally minimal side effects. Remember this site is to discuss side effects of therapy so there is a bias in what you read in this forum. The 90% of patients in our clinic who are doing well on their ARVs with minimal to no side effects are not sending questions to this forum. KH
