Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Atripla
Hello, I m positive and taking atripla. I ve been on atripla for about 8 years. I read a lot about the negative effects of taking it while pregnant. I stopped taking it about 2 weeks ago. I m trying to get my meditation switched since I m 3 weeks late and trying to conceive. Any advice on how to move forward? I see my doctor next week.

Hello,
It's a very tricky question. Brand names for TDF are Viread and Vemlidy is perhaps the safest. BUT nobody knows.
Certainly taking HIV medicine is far better than having HIV transmitted to the baby.
And, you need more than one medicine and probably 3 to have the lowest risk.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
