Can Combivir And Effarirenz Cure AIDS?

Hi. I was diagnosed HIV positive about 6 months ago and am taking medication for it. (combivir and effarirenz) I often seem to have a very fast heart rate, even when I'm resting (between 100 and 125). Sometimes this is accompanied by lightheadedness or a slight but manageable feeling of panic. I rarely drink or smoke and I try to eat healthily. My question is, Is this a serious problem, and what can I do to try and improve this situation.
