Advertisement Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad Buenas noches, �La combinaci�n de Sustiva (efavirenz) y Truvada (una coformulaci�n de tenofovir y emtricitabina)? �A qui�n no le caer�a bien? De hecho, seg�n las directrices de tratamiento mas actualizadas, Truvada es la �nica columna vertebral de los nucle�sidos designada como "preferida" en las recomendaciones para la terapia inicial. Las otras son "alternativas." As� pues, si no tienes motivos para creer que tu virus es resistente a Truvada, tal como los resultados de una prueba de resistencia previa que indicaron mutaciones que concuerdan con tal resistencia, estar�a a favor del cambio. No olvides controlar tu carga viral entre dos y cuatro semanas despu�s de hacer la substituci�n para asegurarte de que siga siendo indetectable. Mucha suerte, abrazos y felices fiestas.
