It's the Sustiva in the Atripla that is in it that can cause that's false postive. If you get a postive result on your drug test the Medical Review Officer or someone from that office will get in touch with you before releasing your results. They will ask what prescriptions you are taking. Make sure you tell them that you are taking Atripla. Request a screen specific for the Canabus (THC). Atripla won't cause a false positive on the specific test.
Good luck with your new job.

I’m tested regularly for my work. I’ve found that you don’t need to go into detail about what meds you’re on. However, do disclose that you are on them. That way they can test for it and not have you test twice or make a bad impression w/ your employer.
