@historiadorderock: "Blood electrification" is sheer quackery. There's no scientific evidence that such a procedure treats HIV nor is there any reason to believe it WOULD or COULD work. For more quackery, consider the folks who claim that exposing blood to ozone cures HIV, and so on ...
how come your not cured then if your cd4 cells are increasing and your hiv cells are undetectable oh n thanks fr the confidence i will now help people realise hiv is something to wrry about and i wish you luck with your battle
This is Eric. A person in Danny's situation is not "cured" because HIV has not been eliminated from his body. If he stopped taking the ARVs, the virus would replicate out of control and his CD4 count would drop.
HIV undergoes a latent state, meaning it transforms into the chromosones, where it sleeps, then one day it will return and CD4 levels will drop. however. even though in a latent state still, the cd4 cells will continue to decrease.
This is Eric; I'm not a doctor. Doctors used to refer to call the period when an HIV+ person's CD4 cell count remained stable the "latent period" because they thought the virus was relatively inactive during that period. But it turns out that HIV is actually actively reproducing and infecting CD4 cells during this period; the body is just producing new CD4 cells fast enough to keep up. Over time, HIV usually starts to get ahead, and the CD4 count starts to drop.
@AIDSvideos Ever heard about blood electrification? So what's the conbination of retroviral meds that he takes?
