It's OK to stop taking AIDS meds: LOTTI Study

The LOTTI study found that patients who interrupted their highly active retroviral therapy (HAART) drugs for AIDS fared as well as those who took the toxic drugs continuously. In fact, more than one-fourth of those who quit their drugs never needed to start taking them again!
Structured Intermittent Therapy (STI) lowered the effects of toxicity, reduced treatment cost, and did not result in drug resistance.
Pharma funded AIDS sites, such as thebody.com, poz.com and aidsmed.com, are not actively informing their readers of the exciting results from this randomized, controlled, prospective study, which was published in the journal AIDS. Information is an essential component for making informed decisions.

Failure

The Strategies for the Management of Antiretroviral Therapy (SMART) trial was intended to provide good information on whether this approach worked for HIV+ people. The double-blind controlled study began in 2002 and enrolled 5,472 participants in 33 countries. Unfortunately for proponents of STI, the study had to be stopped in 2006 because of the excessive number of "interrupted" patients who died or got much sicker.

@qpmatt - Did you watch the entire video? I address the SMART study at about 4:46, as well as on my blog post.

What does one call a FAILED "Failure"?

You said you stopped your meds 6 years ago. On your blog you claim you stopped in 2007. That would be 3 years ago.

Todd: Please learn to read more carefully.

I quit ARVs for the second and last time in 2003. I then quit all other pharma drugs in 2007. All of this is documented on my blog.

It's Friday night. Don't you have a life?

Given that he regularly misrepresents my writing and worse, he will be blocked here as well.

Over the last 3yrs Ive learned so much about ARV's and I know how dangerous they actually are but as an employee in the HIV field I NEVER heard of it - at best I heard of diharrea and fatigue - its amazing how much is hidden from people.

I take frequent brakes from therapy T-cells frequently have been below 200. I have never been sick and I have been poz for 22 years I go back on treatment only to fu*c with the virus, I read somewhere it weakens it. I believe there are very toxic effects from the drugs.

This is my experience and every should deal with their situation as they feel necessary.

Why after 28 years, is it that all the orthodoxy has in the way of prevention is a lackluster woman's vaginal gel and giving a toxic prophylactic anti-HIV chemical compound, targeted at sexually active HIV negative gay men? Cui bono?

Thank you for this posting. It is good to know that there is information out there than what the pharms/doctors pump to perpetuate a scare to drive a what essentially is a business rather than an effort to help people in need.

The 1984 Gallo/Popovic HIV/AIDS papers published in Science are clearly fraudulent. See the draft papers.

HIV does not exist. AIDS does.

That's why HIV/AIDS orthodoxy is to strange.

If you support HIV/AIDS orthodoxy, you support corrupt science.

Science will not retract the papers. The journal Science is corrupt.
