It is possible, do it depends on the baseline prior to commencement of ARVs. What is the baseline value?

fsb:
We would like to hear from folks who have been on ARVS and now have a high CD4 count to encourage others.

HIV is no longer the killer it used to be.

is it possible to have CD4 shoot upto abt a 1000 after commencement of ARV?

applelady:
Pls Gen Buhari stop deceiving people, if you don't know jerk about HIV just keep off this thread.
@Aweplus, take your drugs, eat lots of vegetable and fruits like watermelon and cucumber, eat well and healthy but still take your drugs. HIV is no longer a killer disease, I have been living with it for the past 4 years and I still look good, make sure that you don't miss your appointment and your drugs.
It is well.

it feels good to hear from u. Thanks, I appreciate.

My friend why have you not googled HIV hoax like I told you?

DesChyko:
Until you awaken from this fantasy, you are living a hoax. Right now, two of my neighbours, a couple, are down with this illness. They didn't know it till
1. Their newborn son died.
2. They began to look sickly. After being diagnosed, they began treatment.
It's been three years now.



Have you any idea how a virus stays alive? Do you know a virus cannot be treated with antibiotics because it isn't exactly carrying out life processes? The only way to control it is by stopping its replication, which is why HAARTs are used!



Of course, they are more technologically advanced, so what they actually did was to identify and name it, same way they uncovered malaria, typhoid, smallpox, Ebola, and the rest.



So, in other words, you'ld rather not have a cure or an alternative for steering clear off HIV? I'm quite confused over your stance. Imagine what Malaria would have been here in Nigeria where mosquitoes bite us at random. Thanks to insecticides and anti-malarial drugs, it is now a minor issue. And you're against their advancement?



Isn't that a blessing? With the depeting resources all around us, we shouldn't maintain the 30-children benchmark of our ancestors. It's not like we're still farming with our bare hands.


This isn't entirely correct. Every infection has its own response in the body. In HIV, there is a particular protein, p24 which is carried by the virus. This results in production of a particular antibody which is being tested for. For different antigens, there are different antibodies produced.



They are being tested for the particular antibody that the body produces to fight that antigen.


I don't know where and how you do your tests, but I was counselled after I got my result.
You're just too convinced there is foul play somewhere. I hope you're protecting yourself all the same?
Ebola and HIV are both viruses. The only issue is Ebola isn't mutating easily (only 7 strains discovered since 1976), but HIV becomes drug resistant approximately every three months, that's why the drugs used for it are changed every at intervals.
Be careful!

Thanks, m learning. Do d drugs kill? D only issue fr me is taking d drug bearing in mind that they might destroy my liver and kidneys but the pharm and doc allayed my fears saying I would live normal life. I still feel they are just trying to make me feel good. I'm on Efa/Ten/Lu fixed dose and septrin. I have missed the seprin like twice is it bad? CD4 was is early 3hunds few weeks back.

na person wey dey waka about fit catch any virus anyhow........waoo,it is gud to be on frontpage d first day of december..gud things ahead.hapi new month

I once said dis. How wrong I was.

Its abt two months I gt to knw about my hrtbreakn status.
I'm alive and kicking fine, I wish I knew earlier cos its not fun swallowin dos large pill every night. I know of a lady, 10 years living positively without drugs, that's advantage of knowing early.
To the PLWHA, remember sumtin, "Adversities have d capacities of eliciting talents that would have otherwise been hidden."
Seriously, I feel awareness is low and people need to know that its within more than they think. Even with low CD4, depression, nd a brief illness, it never showed on my face!
I'm perfectly fine now, with life full of hope, fun, positivity and enthusiasm.
@all, Plsssss, take ur health seriously.

Imagine! At 22, dey sed I have d virus, life is so unfair. I wonder why I'm not depressed nor crying. Is dis fate or destiny at work? Well, if not for my parents and some marital expectations, I wouldn't care. I could just adopt kids and make myself and others happy. Can someone just get this tin outta my system? I'm not using these big pills!!! I need miracle!!!!!!! What are the side effects of the drugs? How dis u feel using them? Dey sed ma enemy(not me) is gonna vomit and feel weak after using dem? Pls someone talk me me.

D ARV prolongs d death day or one will live the normal life? Seriously, awareness is not enough!!!!!

Thanks guys. Any hope for children? I'm stil in my early tweenties. So painful

advice is needed as regards food and lifestyle, anyone with bits?

The fact dat I will take dis drug for life is depressing. God knows best. Pls weat are d side effects? I av d 30tablets wit me now but want to take iit after this important program! HIV! I never knew u would get me, who ever invented u will never rest in rip!!!!!!!!!
What should I do to boost my immune system? Ma CD4 is in d late 200. Wat food and activities should I engage in? I'm too young to go thru all dis! Yet I'm not wild! Wilder ppl nd careless ppl r free nd here I am? I started aving symptom after I got to know abt status, was perfectly fine before getting to know, ma doctors and pharmacist r tryn but I just feel dey are making me feel good.. Dey are acting like its just a normal disease nd no bigdeal is attached! Welllllll, if not for ma weight loss, I look ok.. So HIV no dey show for face Pls sumbody wake me up from this horrible dream, I'm even trying to cry but tears aren't coming? Where is dis inner strenght coming from? I can't even find dat voice dat will telll me to csuicide! somebody talk to me. I'm scared for my parents! #sobs
