| Response from Dr. Young
 Thanks for your post and sorry to hear about your diagnoses. 1) Penicillin treats syphillis but doesn't treat HIV. 2) Treatment for HIV generally improves symptoms-- for some patients, they'll notice feeling at least a little better within a matter of weeks. Indeed, symptom improvement (and immunological improvement) should continue for many months to come. Hope this helps. BY | ||
