A member asked:
How effective is sustiva (efavirenz) for treating hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Susteva is a stand alone medication and part of a 1 pill 3 drug combination medication called Atripla. It is effective (barring overt mutation) but not one of my favorite regimens. It may cause vivid dream/nightmares and elevated triglycerides. If not taken in Atripla, 2 other active agents must be used with it to be effective.
