Drug Holiday

[Guest guest]

I am taking this opportunity to share with you an update on my HIV

drug holiday plan. Previously on this forum with reservation I shared

my plan. I was diagnosed with HIV in September of 1992. In September

of 2004 because of the chance that I would loose my drug coverage I

went on a plan of one week on and one week off of my cocktail. Those

drugs are Viramune, Emtriva, and Viread. And I have been alerted that

because of my protocol Viraumune is actually a monodgrug for that week

I am off the meds. However I recently received my blood work and my

t-cells are at 1120 and an undetectable viral load. And during the

past two years my t-cells vacillated from 400 to 800. I have not been

at that level in nine years. And not long after my initial diagnosis I

had zero t-cells. I only posted this story to share my individual

story and I am not recommend my protocol for everyone.

Thank You
