Does a daily glass of wine affect the effectiveness of my HIV treatment? Jul 7, 2010 Hi! I've been on Isentress and Truvada for the past 4 months. My CD4 count and viral load has leveled off around 250 and VL at 300. I'm just concerned that my lifestyle has a direct effect on my body's response to the treatment and these includes a daily glass or two of red or white wine, 5-6 hours of sleep daily, and a busy daily work schedule. Thanks. |

 Modest use of alcohol usually OK with your HIV regimen. If your have underlying liver disease (ie hepatitis C) then alcohol intake needs to be restricted for many patients. KH | ||||||||
