| Response from Dr. Henry
 It is difficult to predict with any confidence whether switching from Kaletra/Truvada to efavirenz/Truvada(Atripla) -- (Kaletra to efavirenz switch essentially) since there in not published data on that specific point. The response fat distribution is likely to vary from person to person. If you have no drug resistance then switching to Atripla has the advantage of being simpler so that you could try that on a trial basis for 6 months to see if there is a noticeable improvement (often slow to change).kh | ||||||||
