Brief Answer:
Both are not the same.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings from Dr Divakara P
Thanks for posting your query.
Well Telura and Virotrenz are not the same .
Telura contains Tenofovir + Lavudine+Efavirenz
Virotrenz contains Tenofovir+ Emtricitabine+Efavirenz.
So they are not the same. I recommend you to insist for Telura only.
As of paternia is concerned yes it is given for patients with low sperm count , but it contains Anti oxidants which are helpful in boosting your immunity.
But it is not proven that anti oxidants will boost immunity in patients with HIV patient.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
Regards.
