| Response from Dr. Henry
 Muscle wasting has not been much of an issue for most patients taking Sustiva + Combivir whereas fat loss has been more of an issue. Switching from Combivir to Truvada has been shown to often reverse fat loss but not much observable effect on muscle mass. There could be a small percentage of patients who have muscle problems from the AZT in Combivir that would be stopped/reversed when switched to Truvada. KH | |||||||||
