Q and A

Question

What if I take an Odimune pill and I am HIV negative?

Answer

hi

If you are HIV negative, a single pill will not casue any harm.

If you are really HIV positive but not yet diagnosed, taking a single pill might cause drug resistance.

Medicines should only be taken if they have been prescribed by a doctor.

    Hi Zinhle,

    Odiume is a generic version of Atripla, it’s perfectly safe to take when pregnant. It won’t have any negative impact on your babies health. In fact it will reduce the risk of transmission.

    Though you may feel like you aren’t ready to take medication, it’s really important that you do. There’s more info about this here: http://i-base.info/guides/pregnancy
