Re: stoping meds

You know, there is controversy over stopping meds. Personally, your t-cells are high although it would be absolutely perfect if your viral load were less than 300. if you have absolute faith in your physician, then listen to him. If you need another opinion, then you may want to get when or look at other interactive web sites for opinions. chris

Re: stoping meds

From what I know, stopping meds is the worst possible thing you can do to your body...as Chris said, listen to your physician...and remember, that you have all of us here as well to get you through any rough spots

Re: stoping meds

How would you get a second strand? Sorry for my naivety but im not understanding that comment. Can a second strand of the virus grow inside of you or did you mean a new infection?
