Unfortunately, a blood transfusion will not help. I have been HIV positive for two years. The HIV is not only present in the blood but it is also embedded throughout the body. You have to keep your faith though. The meds are so powerful and may help to increase her CD4 and decrease her viral load. She really needs your support right now. Just focus on the good times you had together and pray that the meds are effective. Everyone is here for you.

There are many cases like your girlfriend where the person has survived. The medicine she's on is called Sustiva and she should be on two other medications as well. As long she takes her medications every day on time she could do well. Your goal now is to get her tcell count above 200. There are medications for loss of appetite. Transfusions won't help. Has she never been on medication before? You are helping so much by being there for her. You can help more by learning a lot about HIV. Read through this stuff: http://www.thebody.com/nmai/start.html
http://www.thebody.com/cdc/living.html
http://www.thebody.com/hivmed/contents.html
Make sure she has the best HIV specialist in town. That is someone who treats more then 20 people with HIV and has been doing so for more then 5 years.

Also find out your largest AIDS organization in your area and talk to them. You are not alone. There is help out there. And she can survive this!

A blood transfusion will not help. Just continue to be by her side and love her. You are a wonderful person to be so compassionate.

Either that or I've gotten pretty good at faking it.

Frankfort, Kentucky, makes it against the law to shoot off a policeman's tie.

vacations at this country inn. The last time he'd finally managed an
affair with the innkeeper's daughter. Looking forward to an exciting
few days, he dragged his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then stopped
short. There sat his lover with an infant on her lap!
"Helen, why didn't you write when you learned you were pregnant?"
he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married,
and the baby would have my name!"
"Well," she said, "when my folks found out about my condition,
we sat up all night talkin' and talkin' and finally decided it would be
better to have a bastard in the family than a lawyer."

goaded me beyond my inclination, and frequently beyond my ability in
