Specializes in General Practice

AIDS: I am sorry to hear that your diagnosis also came with a badly damaged immune system. Know that in general the Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is only temporary as your immune function normalizes on treatment. I would only advise that you take the pro-biotics at a time different than when you take the bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim).
