Treatment Summary

Efavirenz (brand names Sustiva® and Stocrin®) is a medication used to treat HIV-1. When used in combination with other antiretroviral medications, it can reduce the risk of HIV transmission from high-risk exposures. It is usually combined with lamivudine and either zidovudine or tenofovir for HIV infection that has not previously been treated. Efavirenz is part of a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen for HIV treatment.

Effectiveness

How Atripla Affects Patients

Efavirenz is a type of medicine used to treat HIV infections. It is usually taken as part of a three-drug regimen that includes another type of HIV medication, such as lamivudine, stavudine or zidovudine, and a protease inhibitor. It was originally approved for use in patients who had not responded to treatment with zidovudine.

How Atripla works in the body

Efavirenz works to stop HIV from reproducing by stopping an enzyme called reverse transcriptase from copying viral RNA. This stops the virus from making new copies of itself. Though human DNA polymerase is less likely to be affected by efavirenz, this may still be a cause of some of the drug's side effects.

Atripla Reviews: What are patients saying about Atripla?

Patient Review

8/31/2015

Atripla for HIV

This treatment saved my life. When I started it, my CD4 was less than 600 and my copy count was in excess of 350K. Within 6 months, my CD4 was up to 970, and my viral load was undetectable, and I've remained this way for over 2 years.

Patient Review

1/19/2018

Atripla for HIV

Atripla is most effective when taken before bed. The side effects are strongest in the first few weeks, but they should dissipate after that.

Patient Review

6/4/2014

Atripla for HIV

I've only been on Atripla for 4 weeks, but it's going well so far. I had slight dizziness on the first day and sickness on day 3, but I'm attributing that to taking 2 ibuprofen for sinus pain. My girlfriend caught HIV from me and she's been on Atripla for 10 months now. Her viral load is undetectable now, which is great news.

Patient Review

8/20/2015

Atripla for HIV

Atripla has been working well for me for almost three years now. The only side effects I've noticed are a light dizziness, some irritability, and diarrhea if I eat or drink within 12 hours of taking the medication. Additionally, I sometimes have strange dreams.

Patient Review

9/2/2014

Atripla for HIV

I felt a little dizzy for the first few days, but that passed. I also had very vivid dreams--that was interesting. After one month, my viral load went from 35k to <20--so it's working well! The only downside is that coffee makes me have to use the restroom immediately.

Atripla for HIV

Patient Review

11/21/2014

Atripla for HIV

I constantly battle dry skin, and lately I've been struggling with an increased appetite which has lead to weight gain. On top of that, I'm pretty much always dealing with some sort of yeast infection. So, needless to say, I'm really hoping to find a less toxic solution soon.

4.3

Patient Review

6/30/2014

Atripla for HIV

I saw a significant increase in my CD4 and decrease in my viral load after just three months of treatment. The only downside was the severe drowsiness I felt for about 24 hours every day, as well as some vivid dreams during the first few weeks. Overall, though, it was worth it and I'm hoping to be undetectable at my six month mark.

Patient Review

2/8/2018

Atripla for HIV

I've been on Atripla for six years, but some of the side effects are really tough to deal with. My sleep quality has decreased dramatically, and I often feel bad a few hours after taking the pill. Additionally, I've been feeling depressed more frequently, and my memory isn't what it used to be. Does anyone know of a better medicine than Atripla?

3.7

Patient Review

7/29/2020

Atripla for HIV

After taking this drug for ten years, I started to experience intense psychological problems. Additionally, the osteopenia in my bones got worse and my lipodystrophy (a side effect of many HIV medications) worsened. There are much better alternatives to Atripla out there that don't come with these nasty side effects.

Patient Review

Patient Q&A Section about atripla

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Why is Atripla discontinued?

"The branded version of Atripla will be discontinued at the end of 2021 because there is not a high demand for it."

Answered by AI

What is Atripla tablets used for?

"This lowers your chance of getting HIV complications (such as new infections, cancer) and increases your life span.

This product contains 3 different medications: efavirenz, emtricitabine, and tenofovir. These medications are used to help control HIV infection. They work by decreasing the amount of HIV in the body, which helps the immune system to work better. This in turn lowers the person's chance of developing HIV complications, and increases their life span."

Answered by AI

Is Atripla still prescribed?

"Atripla and Truvada are both approved for use in people of any age, as long as they weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kilograms) and 37 pounds (17 kilograms) respectively. Truvada is also approved for the prevention of HIV."

Answered by AI

What are the long term side effects of Atripla?

"If you have kidney problems, you may experience increased thirst and urination, muscle pain or weakness. If you have liver problems, you may experience swelling around your midsection, right-sided upper stomach pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)."

AI-DBT for Suicide Prevention in HIV/AIDS

All Sexes
Newark, NJ

One in four older persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) report at least one suicide attempt in their lifetime, and the risk for death by suicide is 100 times higher in PLWHA than in the general population. Currently, there are no behavioral interventions that specifically address suicide prevention for older PLWHA, despite their unique biopsychosocial and structural risk factors. Through this work, investigators will adapt Dialectical Behavior Therapy, an evidence-based intervention for suicide prevention, for patients with PLWHA to be delivered by an AI-powered conversational Agent developed by our industry partner, Empower Health. Investigators will then pilot test the feasibility, usability, acceptability and preliminary efficacy to improve self-efficacy to manage negative emotions in n=50 older adults living with HIV/AIDS.

This project will explore the development of a personalized decision support tool to assist with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation and persistence among patients identified in the emergency department (ED) and urgent care settings as PrEP eligible. First, the investigators will use a sequence of validated implementation science methodologies to develop and validate a decision support tool designed to optimize PrEP persistence by strengthening self-efficacy by addressing the multifaceted medical and social needs of the individual patient. The investigators will then test the preliminary effectiveness of this tool through a pilot stepped wedge implementation trial in two EDs and an urgent care in Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC among 120 PrEP eligible patients to determine PrEP initiation, linkage to care, persistence, and adherence rates.

All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of a telephone-delivered Brief Behavioral Treatment Insomnia (BBTI) versus a Brief Mindfulness Treatment (BMT) on cognitive and sleep outcomes in older adults with HIV. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the effects of BBTI vs BMT on self-reported and observed sleep outcomes in older adults with HIV and insomnia up to 1-year post-intervention? What are the effects of BBTI vs BMT on self-reported and observed cognitive comes in older adults with HIV and insomnia up to 1-year post-intervention? What is the association between Alzheimer's Disease biomarkers and sleep and cognitive outcomes in older adults with HIV receiving BBTI vs BMT? Participants will: * Complete 4 weeks of telephone-delivered BBTI or BMT * Attend baseline, post-intervention, and 1-year post in-person visits for sleep and cognitive assessments * Have blood collected at all three time points

Islatravir + Ulonivirine for HIV

18+
All Sexes
Ft. Pierce, FL

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1). The usual (standard) treatment for HIV-1 is antiretroviral therapy (ART), which includes taking medicines to lower the amount of HIV-1 in the body. Standard ART helps people live longer, but people must take up to 3 medicines up to twice a day. Standard ART may also cause other health problems. Researchers want to know if a study ART works as well as a standard ART to treat HIV-1. The study ART combines 2 medicines, islatravir and ulonivirine, and is taken once a week. The goals of this study are to learn: 1) If the study ART works as well as a standard ART to treat HIV-1, and 2) About the safety of the study ART and if people tolerate it compared to a standard ART.

Decision Support Tool for HIV Treatment

18+
All Sexes
Los Angeles, CA

This study is testing software designed to help healthcare providers choose the best HIV treatment combinations for their patients. HIV medicines, known as antiretroviral therapy (ART), can be complex to manage because the right regimen depends on many factors-such as drug resistance, other health conditions, and medication schedules. Many people with HIV are cared for by general clinicians who may not have access to HIV specialists, which can make treatment decisions more challenging. In this study, healthcare providers will use patient cases to compare standard HIV treatment resources with a new clinical decision support tool that gives evidence-based ART recommendations at the point of care. The investigators hypothesize that using the tool will help providers select treatment plans that better match clinical guidelines, make decisions faster, reduce mental effort, and increase overall satisfaction with the prescribing process.

MGD020 + MGD014 for HIV

18 - 65
All Sexes
Chapel Hill, NC

This research study aims to find out how safe and well tolerated the experimental study drugs are when given to persons with HIV (PWH) taking antiretroviral therapy (ART). The study treatments are MGD014 and MGD020, which are two antibodies developed specifically for HIV, and Vorinostat, an oral medication to help expose HIV in cells to the antibodies. The study will measure the impact of study treatment on non-active HIV in cells, and how long MGD014 and MGD020 stay in the body after they are given. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All participants receive MGD014 and MGD020, given sequentially as infusions through an IV for 4 doses. Participants in one group (group A) receive only MGD014 and MGD020. Participants in another group (group B) will stop taking their ART therapy for up to 8 weeks (a temporary treatment interruption (TTI)) while receiving MGD014 and MGD020. Participants in the third group (group C) receive Vorinostat in addition to MGD014 and MGD020. Total time of participation is about 8 months and involves 13 or 18 visits, depending on group assignment.
