Hi robtz,

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis and welcome to the forums.
If I am reading correctly you have been with out meds for about a year now because of adverse reactions with Atripla and Truvada.
Did your doctor prescribe Truvada alone ?
You should be on a combination of at least three drugs.

Here is a list of HIV meds and you have plenty of options to discuss with him/her.

Hi

I removed your other posts as they are duplicates.

Look intimidate reaction just after the first pill to both medications is very odd as it normally takes time to be absorbed into the human body, also I am with Wade that you should not be taking Truvada on its own. That would be very odd. 

What has your doctor said? And have you discussed what treatment would be best suited for you to start on. 

Wishing you all the best

Jim
