I have a questions. I have been positive for 15 years. Have been on Viracept and Combivir for 10 years and my Tcells are over 1400 and non detectable virial load for 10 years. I just read Dr. Wohl's post reguarding a person's questions about initial exposure. He stated that Viracept is not a very strong treatment. Should I change? I was sort of trying to stay with the "OLD" stuff and saving the newer drug regiments for when this one stops working. I was thinking that if it isnt broken dont fix it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

You said it exactly right. Do not fix it if it is not broken. You have GREAT numbers, I would not go changing anything now.

No sense changing something that's working! You don't need newer and better right now, when tried and true is working so well.
Great numbers!

flyboy,
I have been on the same combo for the same length of time. I talked to my Dr, he said to absolutly no changing because it is working.
Why risk changing to a med that may not work or you could have lots of side effects?
So I know I am staying where I am..

Rev Ann, I thought you said you refused to take AZT because it killed so many people?

"I am very glad that in the yearly days I did not go on AZT. Dr's killed many people with AZT because there was nothing else to fight HIV/AIDS. So they just kept throwing more and more AZT at it."
What changed your mind?
