HIV Infection
"I was diagnosed in April 2010.  My CD4 count was 10, yes 10...I know, not good.  I had been researching the multitude of HIV antivirals for some time, knowing my test results were going to show I was HIV positive.  Decided Atripla was likely to be the best for me.  My doctor put me on it right away and within 1 month my CD4 count was already up to 134.  VL is also coming down quite rapidly as well.  You can&#039;t beat one pill a day.  I take it at bedtime and have not noticed any serious side effects.  I will occasionally wake up in the morning feeling as though I had just fallen asleep, even though I&#039;ve been in bed for 8 hours and totally out."
