There's an endless supply of pills for HIV. Sorry, Feelgood. Modern medicine has defeated HIV. If you become resistant to Atripla you can take Isentress. If you become resistant to that you can try Combivir. Resistant to that? Take your pills on time, already, but try Prezista. It doesn't stop. There are easy choices for this. Talk to a HIV physician and stop Googling. Google does not replace real research unfortunately. We all know resistance occurs. But there are plenty of articles which detail that HIV patients have a normal lifespan. Guess you're not searching for those.
Of course all medicine have side effects. On a relative basis it will be very, very difficult to come up with an even safer version of Atripla. Gilead is hard at work on that, however. And in a few years, Atripla, Viread, Truvada, etc will all be generic and cost pennies. Certainly these drugs with over a decade of experience in millions of patients with a tremendous safety track record cannot be usurped by a preclinical 'idea'.
This paper recapitulates what everyone knows and does nothing to refute the idea that Atripla is the standard of care with a tremendous therapeutic profile.
Here is a 2-year study which shows how uncommon it is to fail HIV therapy. You really have to be irresponsible and not take your medicine. Only 4% of patients in 2 years failed. No one got AIDS in this study. Side effects are what you would normally see in any patient of 45 years. Placebo controlled studies are no longer done so telling which side affect is drug related has become impossible.
