 We don't know the answer to your question. It is the subject of several ongoing studies. In the short term, there is probably some real effect, with viral replication turning back on and the potential of starting to kill t cells again. As long as you monitor viral load and CD4 counts closely and look to see if there is a negative trend, you should be ok off drugs for a while. MH | ||||||||
