aidsmap.com :: HIV basics - Treatment: "All medicines can cause side-effects, and this includes those used to treat HIV. But it’s good to know that many people find modern HIV treatment easy to take.
Anti-HIV drugs can cause both short-term and long-term side-effects.
Common side-effects you might have when you first start a treatment are diarrhoea, feeling or being sick, and headache. Some drugs can also cause problems sleeping, including vivid dreams, a feeling of being ‘spaced out’ or depression.
Most people find that these side-effects lessen or go away completely after a couple of weeks.
A few anti-HIV drugs can cause an allergic reaction. You should be screened for risk factors before taking any of these drugs, and then warned about possible symptoms. If you do then have any of those symptoms, you should seek medical advice immediately."
