When to Start Medication for HIV

Vitamins

Answers from Dr. Kaiser

Question:

I have been reading Healing HIV which I have found very helpful. I am newly infected (5-6 months) and you say counter to most other info you should start meds. My counts have been improving over the last 3 weeks of testing and I am at 550 T/ 5200 VL. I was hoping by starting with a natural therapy program I could get my self stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. and fine-tune my body to prepare for the meds and side effects. I am feeling unprepared to jump in on the meds with my count being where it is. If it was worse I would not have an issue. Any suggestions?

Dr. Kaiser replies:

I am responding to your online question immediately because I think it is very important that you get this information ASAP.

Contrary to my usually conservative philosophy when it comes to prescribing antiviral medications, I believe that you have the ability to achieve the following goals if you start the correct medications very soon:

To eliminate HIV from gaining a strong and deep foothold within your body and your immune system
To be able to take antiviral medications for only one year and then be able to stop them for a very long time without a rebound of your infection
To be able to take a combination of medications that causes you no side effects or any negative impact on your quality of life.

I would be happy to discuss how to achieve these goals with you in a telephone consultation. Otherwise, you can get a little bit more information by reading my book beginning on page 96. The additional experience that I have gained since my book’s publication makes this course of action even more attractive.

Good luck and I hope to speak with you soon.
