Is Triumeq Alone Sufficient To Treat HIV When CD4 Numbers Are Improved?

default
Posted on Thu, 19 May 2016
Question: I currently take Prezista, Norvir and Triumeq as my HIV combination pills.
My CD4 numbers have been very good and my Viral Load is undetectable.
My doctor advises that I now only need to take the Triumeq. I do not require the Prezista and Norvir.
Given that my numbers have been great, changing my meds (reducing them) concerns me.
