Hello
As you are taking truvada and efavirenez , so take these tablets regular.
As you are also feeling crawling underneath skin , so this may be due to some sort of allergy .
This may be the side effect of these anti retroviral drugs .
If symptoms re severe , you may need montelukast+ fexofenadine , whenever, you require , otherwise don't take it on regular basis .
Also be careful about CD4+ T cell and HIV RNA ( VIRAL LOAD).
