I have been on treatment (Sustiva and Trizivir) for years now and my T cells are really high, my Viral load 40,000. I am still getting Kaposi's sarcoma, and my Doctor is alarmed. Why is this still happening, and what can I do about it? Thank You

Although for many folks a high CD4 count protects against new KS, this does not occur for everyone. I have patients with aggressive KS despite having CD4 counts well above 500. Since your viral load is moderately high (40,000), you might have your KS under better control is you can get your viral load down to the non-detectable level. It may require a protease inhibitor to do so. As for your KS, I could advise you more if I knew a bit more about the extent of your KS. If you have some scattered lesions, then you can apply the ointment Panretin gel to them. You need to apply it twice a day. If you have many lesions, or if they are large lesions, or if there is any evidence of internal involvement, then you may need chemotherapy. Doxil and DaunoXome are very effective in the treatment of KS. These chemotherapy agents are formulated in liposomes. This liposomal formulation lets the drugs work to shrink the tumors with little in the way of side effects. Lastly depending upon your geographic location, there may be clinical trials in your area. Good luck.
