Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Anyone have any knowledge or information on how people with HIV would cope with this seemingly new type of flu? Especially if it goes pandemic as it is threatening to do? i.e are we more at risk than most ( does our lower CD4 make it harder to fight?) Can those on HIV ARV take antiretrovirals that seem to be effective against it such as Tamiflu? Should we be worried i.e more worried than those without HIV? or is it a false alarm like the bird flu was or are we no more vulnerable tan anyone else to this - although it does seem to be killing even those without HIV or otherwise compromised immune systems. I am not a health obsessive but I had the flu in the last huge flu pandemic that was often fatal in the 50s and as a young fit young person onlly just survived So just wondered if we should start finding out now - as forewarned is always good Thanks Veritee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
