Can I take a drug holliday Apr 29, 2003 Dear Dr. Hoodniy, There seems to be some debate as to whether one may stop treatment once began. I have been HIV postitive for 13 years. I have been meds. free until the last 20 months. At that time, for the first time in all these years my tcells were below 500 (465) and I had a detectable viral load, although not terribly high. I believe aroung 50000. The main factor that determined that I should start treatment was a dangerously low platelet count. I have been taking trizivir since that time. I have recently missed dosages. My platelets are normal, my tcells are above 700 and my viral load is undetectable. Can I not stop taking the Trizivir? Thank you |
