Hey man. From what I've gathered, stribild is the newest medication on the market.
But from what my doctor said they all more or less contain the same basic ingredient, mostly the active ingredient in truvada, complemented by others that help boost the way the body absorbs and uses it.
After my initial blood work, to test for any drug resistance, viral load count and CD4 level, we consulted about which med to take.
My doctor recommended Atripla, but noted if it didn't work or if the side effects were to much, I could use Complera. And if that didn't work... She went on to list the various other treatment regimes available.
Atripla gave me very few side effects and the ones I do have occasionally (fatigue and a sometimes buzzy-ness, if I take it during my waking hours) are manageable.
