No , HIV can not be cured , it can only be suppressed by continued treatment with the correct medication . The good news is that once on treatment a patient who's viral count is undetectable is not infectious and is likely to be virtually unaffected by the virus .

I have been POZ for more of my lifetime than not. Was told I might live another year in the mid 80s.AND I AM STILL HERE. Griffon as always is spot on in his answers. Any questions I am glad to share my story.

Noo but you can suppressed the virus that it wouldn't have impact in you Hiv is a virus which attack only your immune system not your body

When your immune is attack many disease which are symptoms of hiv keeps appearing Soo the foundation of illness in an hiv patient is the weak immune system

What you can do is to find a product that improve your immune system and always eat food that has low calories like phtodefence product

We essentially have a functional cure - medication that suppresses the virus to the point that it’s essentially untransmitablr. However the virus lies dormant in reservoirs in the body and will activate and start replicating once the meds are stopped. I too have had HIV for longer than I haven’t had it.

Not what you're looking for?
