What is Atripla used for?
Atripla is used to treat and help to manage HIV infections. It may be used alone or with other drugs to reduce the amount of HIV present in the body (viral loads). This helps to improve the function of your immune system. While this is not a cure for HIV it can prevent your condition from getting worse and prevent the risk of cancer and other health complications. You can still spread HIV even if you are taking medicine to treat it. This is approved for adults and children that weigh at least 88 lbs (40 kg).
