Of course there were other reasons too.<br /><br />Respect.<br /><br />Stay well.<br /><br />Its wonderful that there are things like ARV that prevent HIV contraction.<br /><br />In 12th Science, I did hear of AZT (a particular kind of ARV i guess) which was touted as miracle cure for HIV when discovered. But then turned out to be very toxic to liver or kidney or something.<br /><br />That time I was just wondering if ( somewhat like dialysis) we could bring the blood out, treat it with this substance which would beat the living/non living threshold daylight out of the virus, then neutralize this medicine substance and put the blood back in. Liver/Kidney/Such other vital organ totally bypassed!<br /><br />Of course since even slightest body fluid can still hold loads of this virus, it will still be sticking around all over inside the body. That we can take care of with safer milder doses of ARVs.<br /><br />Of course the basic premise of this blabber is that once contracted the infection, we cant do much because larger doses of ARV themselves would kill patient before the actual virus can. So we need to 'optimize' between virus and drug hazard. This would keep the virus thriving (though in lesser quantities than without the drug) and then it will get chance to mutate into resistant strain over time.<br /><br />Instead if we bring the infected blood out of the body, and give the virus a full bam!biff!pow! dose of the drug,outside, without fearing side effects, then patient's system might get cleaned better, and survival prolonged a lot more!<br /><br />Of course I don't know what we would do with the virus thats already inside the T4 host cells, nicely busy dividing. Maybe by some 'nanotechnology' we can identify and filter those too after bringing the blood out.<br /><br />I don't know how crazy or practical or easy or difficult or useful or useless this idea is. But its definitely an alternative 'technique' that as far as I have heard, has never been tried out. Maybe research can be done in this direction apart from trying to make vaccines and more effective & less toxic drugs (the techniques that are being pursued)<br /><br />Anyways its just one of the midday/midnight/anytime dreams that I used to get lulled into during class 12. Your ARV mention brought it all back and I just dumped it.<br /><br />Now hopefully some researcher will be bloghopping medical blogs and read this and save the world ;)Stupidosaurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440677810342540223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786273921656223197.post-9720289930195248172009-10-28T16:49:16.647+02:002009-10-28T16:49:16.647+02:00Fortunately, I've never had to face this situa...Fortunately, I've never had to face this situation up till now!<br /><br />You're sure squeezing your finger is part of the protocol? I think first thing to be done is to wash away the part with as much soap and water as possible!<br /><br />I hope with your experiencing only mild side-effects, the potency and bio<br />availability of your pills is not suspect! ;) Just joking!<br /><br />And wish you all the best!Ketanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786273921656223197.post-60013782967333229662009-10-28T04:03:42.802+02:002009-10-28T04:03:42.802+02:00OMG, I would freak out if an HIV+ needle embedded ...OMG, I would freak out if an HIV+ needle embedded itself in any part of me.
