My clinic just changed me from Tribuss to Atroiza. What is the problem? Will i get side effects?
Answer
Hi,
Tribuss and Atroiza are both generic versions (copies) of a pill called Atripla. They all contain the same ingredients and work in the same way. They only have different names because they are made by different companies.
Because they both contain the same ingredients you should not get any new side effects.
You can find more information about Atripla/Atroiza/Tribuss in our online HIV meds guide.
Hi Odwa,
Atripla and the generic versions of it are used by millions of people, so yes it’s safe. Sulphur isn’t in Atripla, so unless your doctor advises otherwise, then you should be OK with Atripla.
Can I take Atripla if im allergic to Sulphur. Secondly I once took Nevarapine,Lamzid and bactroban then after few months I stopped now my doctor recommended Atripla .Is it Safe
Hi Valencia,
Yes, Atroiza is a generic version of Atripla. There are three ARVs in this pill. They are efavirenz, tenofovir DF and FTC.
is Atroiza an ARV Pill
Hi Dee,

Hi Zet,
If you are on ARVs and you’ve had an undetectable viral load for several months you cannot transmit HIV if you don’t use a condom. Undetectable = Untransmittable, please see this Q&A for more info on U=U.
If you sleep with someone with out condom and you on ARV’s is that person 100% affected?
