Question 6

which are best medication for hiv/aids?

Accepted Answer

Best HAART: The best haart is that therapy that is guided by the individuals specific viral infection.  We check for resistance mutations in a test called a genotype.  We then tailor the medication regimen based on the genotype  ; the fine detail on how the patient tolerates the drug ; if the virus becomes suppressed on the regimen.  If the virus does not suppress we look for hidden mutations ; refine the tx.

Question 9

how long you live without medication or treatment when you have aids?

Accepted Answer

About 8 to 10 years.: A typical survival time for a person with HIV (from diagnosis to death) in the pre-medication era was 8 to 10 years.  Now that there are multiple good medications that can be used in combinations (highly active antiretroviral therapy / haart), persons with HIV and even with aids can live for several decades with good care and healthy lifestyle choices.  Hope that this helps.

Bactrim, (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) zidovudine: The earliest effective treatment (early 1980s) was sulfa-trimethoprim (Bactrim®) to prevent Pneumocysts pneumonia in people with advanced immune deficiency.
