 Effective HIV therapy can often improve low platelet counts seen in the setting of HIV infection. There is considerable experience with use of AZT in that setting-much less for some of the now widely used AZT alternatives (such as tenofovor or abacavir)when used for HIV infection with a focus on increasing a low platelet count. Mild thrombocytopenia is usually well tolerated with little clinical problems in HIV+ persons. KH | ||||||||
