		Vivir a grandes alturas Aug 24, 2009 Buenos dias y gracias por ser te tan gran ayuda para todos. mi pregunta es la siguiente, soy VIH positivo, 44 a�os, indetectable desde hace 6 meses, con tratamiento desde hace ocho meses y �n un mes aproximadamente marcho a vivir a Per� pero a�n no tengo una ubicaci�n decidida. Una de las opciones es Cuzco que est� a una altura de 3400 mtr por encima del nivel del mar, altura que evidentemente debe afectar al espesor de la sangre; si decidiera vivir a una gran altura quisiera saber qu� efecto podr�a tener sobre el VIH ya que no encuentro documentaci�n sobre este tema. Muchisimas gracias por atenderme en mis dudas


Advertisement Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad Buenos d�as, Es un cuento de viejas que la altura afecta "al espesor de la sangre." Y estoy aqu� hoy para decirte que la altura tampoco no tendr� un efecto importante sobre el VIH. Sin embargo, como todos (seropositivos o seronegativos) que quieren hacer un viaje a un pa�s como Per�, deber�as ver a tu m�dico para hablar con �l de las precauciones que necesitar�s tomar. Buen viaje. Dr. Steve �Quiere leer m�s preguntas y respuestas sobre este tema? �Tenemos much�simas preguntas similares que ha contestado nuestro experto!
