Not So Dormant...

 

There have been a few pieces lately like this article refuting the alleged dormancy of HIV+ people on regimens.  Even if the meds are working & the numbers are undetectable, it doesn't mean the virus is inactive.  While not as active, the virus is still impacting the immune system even when suppressed.  That can lead to inflammation & other health consequences for those living with HIV.  

This has been a concern.  Just how inert does the virus become while dormant?  Apparently not enough not to do harm.  While this may not impact whether of not the person can pass on the virus, it could affect their health.

That's all for now.  We actually made it through a day without issues yesterday.  We're hoping for a repeat.  Maybe we can get on a roll.  Take care.

Cya...
