I’m taking Atroiza, what is the best time to take it?
Answer
Atroiza is a generic form of Atripla.
It is a very effective treatment for HIV and is often prescribed in South Africa.
The best time to take the medication is before you go to bed. Also, to take it on an empty stomach.
This is to limits the side effects from efavirenz,

Hi peter, disclosing HIV is very personal and your girlfriend will have had her own reasons for not telling you. If she is taking Atroiza, this is an HIV medication used to suppress the virus. Taking medication can mean you are unable to transmit HIV, even without using a condom. It is unlikely you will have become HIV positive. It can be common for HIV positive people who have well managed HIV to not tell their partner. There would be no risk of transmission.
My girlfrind has been sleep with me and she never told me that she is taking atroiza. Will i contac hiv?
Hi Mbuyi,
Breast lumps (gynaecomastia) in men has been mainly linked to efavirenz which is one of the drugs in Atroiza. Liposuction and surgery can be used to reduce breast size in both men and women. But switching treatment is a first option as you are taking Atroiza.
Please talk to your doctor about what other HIV meds would be easier for you to take.
Ha recently started taking Atroiza and developing breast am a man
Hi Nombuso,
Nothing will happen to your viral load, this is because you’re on medication. The issue here is that your husband isn’t on medication. If he isn’t on medication his HIV won’t be under control. He’s effectively risking his health and this is even if he feels OK.
