   Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad

Hola,

Parece que es el momento para pensar seriamente en cambiar de régimen. Además Maxivir, o sea D4T (estavudina, Zerit), 3TC (lamivudina, Epivir) y nevirapina (Viramune), es un régimen pasado de moda. Afortunadamente, hoy en día hay muchas opciones en cuanto a los regimenes antirretrovirales. Algo muy importante: si su carga viral está por encima de entre 500 y 1.000 copias, antes de hacer nada, debe hacerse los exámenes de resistencia a los medicamentos. Hay dos tipos -- un genotipo y un fenotipo -- y debe hacerse los dos. Los resultados le ayudarán a escoger el mejor próximo régimen.

Gracias por cuidarle tan atentamente a tu . . . sea quien sea. Y abrazos para ti y para tu ¿?

Dr. Steve
