Description

Objective: It is good news for HIV virus-infected patients there are many options of anti-retroviral treatment. Good treatment brings them healthy lives and long-term survival. It will be not so good news for them that they must take medicines every day for the rest of their lives.<BR>Material and Methods: We observed the long-term clinical course of two cases of HIVinfected patients for whom we stopped anti-retroviral treatment because of accidental events, one was side effects, the other was childbirth. We observed their clinical course from the point of the view whether it is good or not to stop anti-retroviral treatment.<BR>Results: After stopping anti-retroviral treatment, we could measure their viral load, and their counts of CD4 were decreasing, but not so severe. Their quality of life is good, and they have no clinical symptoms.<BR>Conclusion: We are thinking now it will be not so bad for HIV-infected patients to make a pause in anti-retroviral treatment, if they satisfy certain conditions.
