| Response from Dr. Henry
 The timing of the Atripla relates more to trying to overlap the frequent central nervous side effects with sleep time. HIgher levels (including if taken with fatty meals) more likely to cause more central nervous system side effects. The effectiveness of Atripla is likely good in most situations so that is not the factor usually driving the timing of dosing discussion. KH | ||||||||
