Question

What is Tribuss used for?

My partner and I tested negative, however when she had a miscarriage she was given a med called Tribuss. I thought this was a HIV med.

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch.

Yes Tribuss is used to treat HIV. Therefore, I am not sure why your negative partner would be given Tribuss following a miscarriage. Owning to this, she should speak to the doctor who prescribed this to her.

    Hi Dee,

    Your doctor is right in advising you to start meds, your CD4 is 330 and your viral load 39,000. Once on meds your viral load will decrease and your CD4 count will rise. Please see here for more info: http://i-base.info/guides/starting

    Hi Derek,
    It’s great that you’ve found a partner to love. Yes, it sounds like the right time to start taking meds again. You can talk to your doctor about the treatment break and work out what are the best meds for you now.

    Hi Thabile,

    Atrozia and Tribuss are both generic versions of Atripla. This means that they contain the same compounds. Please see here:

    Side effects when switching aren’t common. However this isn’t to day that it can’t happen. Are you able to talk to your doctor about this?

    Hi Spakes,
    I’m not sure about your question because it’s not quite finished. But I am sorry to hear your boyfriend is unwell. If he has TB it’s a good idea to make sure the doctor is treating TB as well as HIV.
