Re:looking for therapists and HIVers to weigh in on treatment choices

[Guest guest]

In September 2004, I chose Boosted Reyataz plus abacavir and epivir. Because I heard that Reyataz is actually "protease sparing" ie if you do become resistant to Reyataz, the mutation is actually beneficial to other protease inhibitors. And because Reyataz has almost no side effects. And because the name had "Taz", a wildly popular Looney Tunes character prominently in the name.I went from a viral load of over 100,000 to UNDETECTABLE in one month. I did. 39 months later, I am still undetectable, though I dumped the Norvir in favor of 400mg Reyataz, and combined the epivir/abacavir into Combivir
