Will ARVs interfere with me taking the pill?

Do ARVs affect the efficiency of birth control pills?

Thanks for getting in touch.

Please see here for info about ARVs and contraception.

If you could tell me what ARVs you are taking as well as which pill, I’ll be able to tell you if there will be any interaction.
