 It seems that you are a long term non progressor in terms of your HIV status.You will need to follow closely this,as many patients eventually have a rise in HIV PCR and require therapy.You also have active HBV disease,and it is good that you have a normal sonography.This finding however, does not rule out that you do not have significant liver disease,specially with your high CD4 levels.You will need a liver biopsy to assess this,and to consider therapy for the HBV. | ||||||||
