Update from Joshie!

Well here it is I have realized that the more medications you are on the less anti-virals really have a chance to really completely do their job! I have taken myself off of all medications not related to HIV, since November of 2012. At that time my CD4 was about 121. But my viral load was undetectable  The prison physician didn't know why (as well as outside street doctors) my CD4 would only keep on the downward slide. So, I made the choice against the physician's advice and refused all med but my trio anti-viral regiment  Now almost 5 months later my CD4 has amazing increased to 324. I would have mentioned this earlier  and still the results are too soon, but over doubled the CD4 in 5 months. That is really saying something! Not by all means I don't recommend anyone just up and quitting meds. I took a risk. Fortunately  nothing negative happened  

So as Buddha says, "Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds and shine!" Compassion to you all
