Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Atripla contains the drugs efavirenz, FTC and tenofovir.\u00a0 It is a combination that is now used by many HIV positive pregnant women worldwide. In the past, women wishing to conceive were advised not to use efavirenz. Or to switch if they found out they were pregnant whilst taking it.<\/p>\n
However, over the past few years, this advice has now changed. Women considering or diagnosed during pregnancy can use efavirenz. This is recommended by the WHO (World Health Organisation) and the BHIVA (British HIV Association) treatment guidelines.<\/p>\n
There are many reports of women throughout the world who have continued taking efavirenz during pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the information that comes with your meds has not been updated for bureaucratic reasons. This is not ideal as it can be confusing for people reading about their meds. In this case, the guidelines recommending use of efavirenz drug in pregnancy are correct and the information with the drug is out of date.<\/p>\n
Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
