I’ve just started Atrozia, its all going really well, does this mean they aren’t working?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
Its a common misconception that when people start ARVs they will get side effects. Though they are common, especially with medication that contains Efavirenz, as yours does, this doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get them. Not having them is great, and something to be happy about.
This is the same question I asked my doctor. She just smiled at me and said “I told you, there is nothing that you should worry about”.
