Kidney Stones-Crixivan

I am currently on a protease inhibitor(HIV),
Crixivan. One of the side effects of this med is kidney stones.
I am curious as to what "type" of stone is formed here. I've
read that there are many different types. Also, my doctor(s)
recommend
that I drink a lot of fluids to prevent the formation of stones. I
I am currently drinking 2 quarts a day of fluids. Is this enough?
Is there anything else I can do to prevent the stones from
forming?
The Crixivan is working well to keep my viral load down so I don't
want to give it up, but I am VERY anxious about the stones. I've
heard horror stories. Thanks in advance. BOB
