My good days out weigh the bad I except this disease and Im realizing Im not crippled unless I mentally give up but today I live a normal life I had hiv since 88 I had hap c treatment and just had cataract surgery THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL THANK GOD.We have to stay humble and work and eat healthy and rest
I started on AZT monotherapy in 89. Then Videx and AZT dual therapy (ALL WRONG). In the backwards state of SC I had to run for my life to Houston where my phenosense GT showed I had the R15 mutation and the M150 mutation. I decided to get on Reyataz with 100mg of Norvir with Viread and AZT and my VL has been less than 50 since 2/4/05 and now my T4 cells are 847 and my % is a respectable 24.2. I was also on methadone and cut my AZT to only 300mg QD. I'm 54.
Deforming peoples bodies and effecting there quality of life with drugs is not a cure. Go look at the monsters the drugs deform the bodies into then tell us its any form of a cure.
The phrase "functional cure" needs to be used carefully a number of legal and ethical questions exist. HIV exposure is being criminalized in many countires and musing about functional cures could be interpreted by a + person as no longer needing to disclose their status to a - partner. Criminalization is premised on the 'level of risk' to the non-infected person but as we all know, 'non-detectable' is NOT non-risk. If you have HIV, you risk exposing someone if you are not safe.
My husband for 18yrs is HIV + his girlfriend died last year.I am negative and we are still intamite without any protection.I went for a test and I am still neagtive.My husband has no been to a doc since he found out.He is not taking any medication.PLEASE TELL ME HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

I think to work on both therapeutic/functional and on vaccine are key important. My have CD4 around 420 not on ART. I was suffering right pleurisy dry/wet in 1998, now I am infected with hiv in June 2011, now the signs and symptoms is now come up agressively I asking if I will opt to start ART will it help to reduce the pain and possible cure for pleurisy?
