General Treatment

Is it possible to stay on Fuzeon and not become resistant?
I have become resistant to three classes of HIV drugs. My doctor insists that I take Fuzeon now. Is it really worth it?
What are fusion inhibitors?
I have a CD4 of about 400 and an undetectable viral load. I am resistant to most meds and want to know what my options are. Could Fuzeon be right for me?
Why can Fuzeon only be administered through injections? Why is it only used by HIVers with resistance to other meds? Are there any studies on using Fuzeon in people with CD4 counts higher than 200?
If I miss a dose of Fuzeon, what should I do?
