Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
Yes its OK to take the medication that you’ve been given at the same time. However, as this involves quit a few pills you may wish to take some in the morning and others in the evening.
If the ART that you’ve been given contains efavirenz this will need to be taken in the evening.
As you’re new to medication and also pregnant, you may find the following helpful:
