Extra saliva and mucus from hiv treatment?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not common: Having extra saliva and mucus as a result of HIV treatment is very uncommon and not something I have seen in my patients on HIV treatment.

No: Atripla is the most common prescription medicine used to treat hiv-1 infection in adults. If this is what you are on increased saliva and mucus is not a common side effect. Stomach pain with nausea and vomiting is and this could increase saliva and mucus. This side effect is not that uncommon.
