HIV and the brain...VIVID DREAMS cause by HIV iteslf or by meds? Sep 7, 2010 Dear Dr.Henry; I've recently acquired HIV after engaging in a hand-job & boob-job with a commercial sex worker where no anal/vaginal penetration took place! Talk about sabotage! My question is as follows; Do any of the current HIV medications reduce or have any effect on viral loads in the brain or testicles or thymus? As these areas are considered HIV reserviors. Also i have been having extremely vivid dreams since a couple of months post infection, which i think can be related to HIV itself...and SUSTIVA is known to cause vivid dreams as a side effect..any link there? Also i can feel my heel bones hit the ground when i walk now as my feet have thinned within a month of infection. Is HIV known to cause a reduction in joint "shock-absorbing" ability as well? Regards, HIVER |

 Most HIV drug combination do reduce HIV levels in different reservoirs to varying degree. Thinning of heal pad has not been generally linked to recent HIV infection. KH | ||||||||
