Hello,
I'm new in this forum,
Here's my story:
HIV+ since 05/2010, since 08/2010 on ARV. It was Combivir + Viread at first. I started to take ARV because of coinfection HIV+VHB. After three weeks of therapy in hospital, the VHB was gone and HIV reduced to minimum.
Virus load was about 200.000 at first, after begining ARV it dropped at about 20.
Since 1/2011 on combination of Kivexa and Viread, because of side effects of Combivir.
I have had CD4 at about 400-800, felt OK, had no serious problems or side effects anymore.
At 12/2011 I get know about MMS and read Jim Humbles book. So I decided to try it and deal with HIV once forever. Began protocol 1000 at the end of December. A week after begining, I went to my doctor for blood tests. I was curious about the results, since I read the virus load should be about few millions. After finishing protocol 1000 I went to the blood tests again. Havent known the results yet because it takes about 2-3 weeks to get the results.
Last week my doctor phoned me, and on Friday I visited him. The results were:
Virus load at the first test (during MMS therapy, 7th day) was about 1500.
Virus load at the second test (after finishing) was about 2500.
They also revealed a resistance of the virus to Kivexa and partly against Viread. (And against some other drugs too).
So they gave me new drugs: Intelence and Celsentrin and told me to continue using Viread.
So, my question is... Is possible that MMS caused the resistance? (maybe it blocked drugs but havent stopped HIV completely?) Or it is just a concidence?
What should I do now? I'm quite afraid of both possibilities: Start using new drugs (with possible side effects) or try MMS again... and do not take drugs. Thing is more complicated because of the Viread, since it also serves me against HBV.
I believe success stories with MMS, but I'm not 100% conviced it would work in my case... do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom
