I've been on two different combinations since beginning of April '09. First, Truvada, Norvir and Reyataz, and then switched to Truvada and Sustiva (Atripla). Anyway, about a month into my treatment, I started to feel a slight pain in my stomach, just above the right hip.

Is this kind of pain common with ARVs??? Has anyone else had any similar experiences in particular with stomach pain???

My doctor doesn't think it is appendicitis, and is sending me for a scan early next week to rule out other explanations.

" I will keep you informed on my liver tests. The doctor tried to tell me that I shouldn't be having stomach problems on the regimen I am on. I don't know about that, but I am not the doctor!

Good health to all! "
