Sam, I agree that the OP needs to take her ART as her doctor recommended. But she has legitimate concerns, and frankly, she expressed them to her doctor who (it sounds like) poo-pooed her. To me, that's where this seems to fall apart, though, yes, it shouldn't have gone on this long.
YES, she needs to take the pills. NO, she shouldn't have waited so long to address this. But her doctor should really have listened to her concerns or helped alleviate her fears. HIV is tricky for some people and not everyone has a doctor they can work with. His discomfort with "new stuff" shouldn't keep her from getting a regimen that she can adhere to. Some people really do not tolerate Atripla well. It's a miracle drug for others.
Mostly, I think it's a shame that it went this long since delaying ART can have long-term affects. I hope the OP sorts this soon, and I hope she writes back so we know she's OK.

I'm sorry. I can't hear you over this popcorn.
