Sep 26, 2007

Hace 2 años diagnosticaron HIV + a un familiar directo. La acompaño en sus entrevistas con su médico. en aquel momento tenía 450 CD4 y 6.000 C.V. Cada 3 meses repite sus análisis de laboratorio. Su estado clínico gral es muy bueno. hace deporte y dieta muy sana.actualmente tiene 330 CD4 y 10.000 copias de carga viral. desea quedar embarazada. Su pareja no porta el virus. practicaran inseminacion artificial. Su medico dice que todavia no empiece tratamiento. Espera al momento de embarazo. que sugiere ud? cuando comenzar el tratamiento?

Respuesta del Dr. Santana

El tratamiento lo determinara el deseo de quedar embarazada. Es ideal que su carga viral este indetectable por el tiempo mayor antes de decidirse quedar embarazada. En otras palabras luego del comienzo de la terapia antiretroviral se espera que luego de la 8-12 semanas en la mayoria de las ocasiones ya la carga viral este por debajo de niveles indetectables < 50 copias. A partir de ese momento y luego de 4 -6 meses de estar indetectable seria el momento propicio para el embzarazo.
