Probalby NOT 3 years: but it's really hard to say. Good news. with a rebound in the CD4 count now into a range unlikely to have impairment of immunity as long as you are absolutely good on taking the medications we have far far more difficulty on telling how long you'll live !

More than 13 months: You know your contacts, not us! The important thing to note is they now have excellent oral medications to treat HIV. Make sure you get on one and monitor your blood work. There are case reports in the medical literature of patients who have dropped their viral load down to zero. Good luck!
