   Hi Bontle,

   As Lisa says on this Q&A, HIV meds don’t affect a woman’s menstrual cycle. Therefore this is something that you may wish to discuss with a specialist if it continues.

   Hi Martin.

   Odimune is a generic version of Atripla. Please see here: http://i-base.info/guides/1561 When someone is new to Odiume it’s common to feel the way that you’re doing. This usually lasts a few weeks. If it goes on for longer than that, you should talk to your doctor.

   Hi Zino.

   Are you new to this medication? If you are, feeling like this is something that is common when you first start taking Odimune. It should pass in a week or two. If it doesn’t then you should talk to your doctor. You may need to change. Please see Q3 here: http://i-base.info/qa/what-are-the-most-asked-questions

   Hi Londeka,

   All of the ARVs that you’ve been taking are generic versions of a drug called Atripla. What this means is that they all contain the same compounds. In theory you shouldn’t have any trouble switching between these drugs. If you’re feeling unwell this is something that you’ll need to talk to your doctor about.
