		Se debe tomar retrovirales si aún mis defensas están bien? Jul 22, 2009 Hola, Doctor, yo tengo la enfermedad desde hace un ańo exactamente. No tengo ningún sintoma y el doctor me dice que mis defensas están bien. No estoy tomando medicinas y quisiera saber si aún estando mis examenes bien, puedo tomar alguna medicina para dormir el proceso de la enfermedad? Muchas gracias.


Advertisement Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad Hola, Necesitaría yo más información para darte una respuesta significativa y útil. Sin saber exactamente lo que tu doctor quiso decir cuando te dijo tus "defensas están bien," no puedo decir si deberías empezar terapia o no. Específicamente żcuáles son tu recuento de CD4 y carga viral? Son los determinantes primordiales del buen momento para comenzar un régimen antirretroviral. Ten en cuenta que con los nuevos tratamientos -- eficaces, durables y mejor tolerables -- la tendencia es recomendar tratamiento más temprano, a veces aún cuando las "defensas están (relativamente) bien." Espero tu próximo, más detallado ojalá, mensaje. Dr. Steve żQuiere leer más preguntas y respuestas sobre este tema? ˇTenemos muchísimas preguntas similares que ha contestado nuestro experto!
