Hi, I started treatment on the 06-June 2017 and they gave me Atenef Pills, now this month they gave me Atroiza, are they working the same, plz help m confused
Answer
Atroiza and Atenef are both generic versions of Atripla.
This means is that they both contain the same active drugs.
It is perfectly safe to use different versions of Atripla. For more info, please see here:

Other generic versions include Atenef, Atreslawin, Atroiza, Citenvir, Heftenam, Odimune, Rizene, Teevir, Trenvir, Tribuss, Triolar, Trivenz, Truno, Trustiva, Viraday and Vonavir.
Hi Violet,
No this shouldn’t be dangerous. Avonza is the same as Atroiza, but instead of FTC (emtricitabine) in contains 3TC (lamivudine). Please see here for more info on Atripla and the different brand names.
Hi.is it dangerous to move from atroiza to avonza please?
Hi Thembi,
Part of your question has already been answered here How quickly does viral load drop on treatment?
Modern ARVs are all safe and effective. But the best for causing the fasted drop in viral load when you start treatment are integrase inhibitors. You can read about them here.
Hi guys can I ask how long does it takes for HIV to be undetectable and which ARV are the best
Hi Peige,
If you’re on PEP, you should test once you’ve finished the course. If your boyfriend had an invalid result he would have had another test. He also wouldn’t have been put on all of the medication that he’s on. From what you’ve said, it implies that he’s actually positive. You may wish to talk to him about this.
my boyfriend uses atenef, winthrop isoniazid,atrioza drugs. when i asked he said its for TB supression and HIV Supression since he tested invalid result. Am confused of these drugs am now taking an antiretroviral drug now just to prevent myself as we had unprotected sex. before i started i tested negative. after how long can i test again if i finish my drug which is for 30 days.
Hi Juila,
Consipation can be due to a lot of things, one of which is stress and also diet. Constipation is usually easy to treat. You could ask your pharmacist for something that will help you go to the bathroom easier.

Hi Lucky, Atenef is a treatment for HIV. If your girlfriend is taking this and she has an undetectable viral load, HIV cannot be transmitted. See this study PARTNER.
