At the moment I take Truvada in the morning and Sustiva at bedtime.<\/p>\n<p>Would it be possible for me to take both pills at bedtime to see how I will get on before switching to Atripla? Would it be like missing (or being late 15 hours) the Truvada morning dose if I do take them both at bedtime on the first day? Is there a procedure to follow?<\/p>\n<p>Should I change the time of intake (Truvada) gradually until I get to bedtime? If so how?
