Response from Mr. Vergel
That is a great idea not used in the US to test adherence before you start HAART. I am glad you are taking your doses as prescribed. It takes great adherence to maximize the benefits of HAART.
Selenium is one of the cheapest and most beneficial supplements studied in HIV. The 200 microgram/day dose is the one used in all studies performed at the University of Miami by Dr Marianna Baum. I am not sure what the implications are if you take 150 mcg instead of 200 mcg.
