changing meds

[countryfan]

I've been pos for 9 years.  Initial counts were 423 viral load (not thousands - just 423) but T cell was 398.  Immediately went undetectable.  Put on Fortavase, Combivir, Norvir.  Soon switched to just Fortavase 8 bid, combivir 1 bid.  over time decreased to just 1 fortavase bid and 1 combivir bid.  Been up in 700 - 900 T cell the whole time.  No one can explain to me why numbers were odd to begin with.  Also now that fortavase is off market my doc wants to switch me to Invirase, Combivir and Norvir.  My question:  Why was I able to take such a low dose of the first cocktail?  Can I do the equivalent of Invirase without the norvir booster? What about going off meds all together and just monitor?  Thanks for any imput.  My doc just isnt interested in anyone that takes interest in their own health.

You should have never started medication at all with those numbers, in my opinion.  I am not even sure that you are HIV positive to begin with... I really think you should look for a better doctor, yours sounds like a drug dealer.
