Hi Cherry, I am sorry I could not get to you before but I was attending the HIV Speakers Forum in Phoenix.
Combivir is nothing else than azt and 3tc joint in the same pill. They should have done it before it improves compliance. Cryxivan is a good drug if you can take it, and adhere to the regimen.
If you remember a couple of weeks ago, there was a lot of talk in this thread about resistance. And some people saying that 100% of patients will develop resistance to PIs. Well, at the conference Douglas Richmond, M.D. and others showed studies that after 2 years patients with complete virus suppression do not have genotipic(genetic), or phenotipic resistance to the virus. This had a lot to do with compliance. So we go back to the same, treatment is individualized, and the best treatment is the one that the patient can tolerate, and will adhere to.

Good luck

JLL
