| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 The story is still being told. We now have patients going on 20 years with this infection. In many people the meds only work for a short while. There are many reasons for why this may be so. However in some people, meds continue to work effectively, and there is no reason why they shouldn't continue to work that way. | ||||||||
