I dont know anything about Arv's. Any other names I can talk to my doc about that wont make me depressed? Btw when I raised the topic of side effects his response was "why am I even concerned about them. Dont I want to live?"

Sounds like you aren't going to an ID doctor. I suggest you find another doctor that listens. Complera is a lot easier drug to take and fewer side effects.
