Question

Should I take Tribuss or Trivenz?

Hi…I’m 3 months pregnant and have tested HIV positive.. My GP recommended tribus pills to start using it and my medical aid decided to give me trivenzn. I’m not sure if I should use it or go back to my GP to explain to her..

Please help, must i start using it or not?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

Tribuss and Trivenz are a generic form of Atripla. Therefore, it doesn’t matter which one you take, as they are the same drug. Please see:

What is important is that you are on medication. More so because you are pregnant. It is ARVs that will help prevent transmission.

    Hi Libona,

    No this isn’t true, garlic doesn’t stop ARVs from working.

    Hi Sane,

    triolar, tribuss and trivenz are all generic versions of an ARV called Atripla- https://i-base.info/guides/1561 Yes you can take the ARVs that you’ve mentioned with dapsone, there won’t be any reactions.

    Hi Emmah,

    Yes, Trivenz and Trenvir are the same thing. They have different names because they are made by different companies.

    You can see all the different names for these HIV meds here.
