Toxic Protein...

 

This article is about a protein HIV develops which can inhibit some people living with HIV's recovery.  This can happen even while on a drug regimen.  Even if their blood work looks better, their health may not recover as well it should.  This is a newer topic & I've seen a few abstract pieces the last few days.

Even after a decade on my earlier meds, my CD4 never rose above the 200s, even when my viral load was undetectable.  It wasn't until I was on newer meds that my numbers came into a normal range.  Even now, my health isn't what it should be.  It could  be something like this protein or damage already done by being + this long.

This research is novel & shows these endeavors must continue.  Science is about finding out what you didn't know & challenging current models to ensure their accuracy.  Studies like this are ever evolving.  When they stop, is when problems develop.

Give this a read.  It's still fairly light at the moment.  Take care.
