Hi there. I would like to know if Acriptega is good treatment?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Yes. Acriptega is a good treatment.
Acriptega is a generic version of TLD.
TLD is the first line recommendation to be used to treat HIV.
This is because TLD has fewer side effects than older medications and is generally better tolerated. It is still just as effective as older treatment, if not more but it has a greater effect on improving quality of life.
Many people are being switched from older regimens to TLD because of its benefits and preferential use.

Hi John, no-one should take PrEP at the same time as Acriptega (TLD). This is because the two drugs in PrEP are also already included in Acriptega. This would mean double the daily dose every day which would be a bad thing. Please talk to a doctor about this. PrEP and PEP should never be taken at the same time.
Hi – what if you are not hiv positive but being given prep and you take together with Acriptega?
