 The risk for body fat problems with lopinavir/ritonavir + Truvada versus with efavirenz+ Truvada maybe fairly similar for most patients but some may be more susceptible with the protease inhibitor (Alluvia). If you become pregnant then would generally try to continue the Alluvia based regimen through the pregnancy and then consider switching back to an efavirenz based regimen after delivery. Need to make sure kidney/liver function is OK and well as general health evaluation with the symptoms you are experiencing. Good luck. KH | |||||||||
