When I was diagnosed my CD4 was 10, and my Viral load >750000. Since then my v/l has dropped to undetectable, the highest my CD4 has been is 150. Percentage is now up to about 20% (can't remember the starting point there ; but less than 10%)
I started out with Sustiva and Combivir (plus 3 months on oxygen), plus prednisone, Septra, fluconazole (plus?)..
After that it was Sustiva and Kaletra, trying to boost the CD4 (after it was stable for a while); plus the Septra. The Kaletra was murder on my intestines. I didn't dare going too far from a bathroom. Then it was changed to Sustiva and Kivexa (plus....). Now I am on Atripla only, plus Septra. The Septra is because the CD4 is below 200.
All the HIV meds are paid for by the province here. The other ones are mostly covered by my drugplan.
