John,
I strongly disagree with some of your comments here. I really don't understand the hostile reaction of you and a couple of others to the posts of Henry Niman.
(1) you keep asking Henry "what do you propose as an alternative..." I could be wrong, but I don't recall that he has ever said anything on here that could remotely be interpreted as a claim that an HIV+ person should not be taking protease inhibitors. Maybe that's why he doesn't answer the question.
(2) Claiming that Henry is "dangerous" because he posts articles, etc. is somewhat absurd... and implying that he said "resistance will develop in couple of days" is, well, let's be nice here and just call it a falsehood.
The best evidence indicates that, for most patients at least, even "undetectable" levels of the virus do not mean "no" virus. If you were HIV+, wouldn't this knowledge give you MORE, not LESS, motivation to stay compliant? How is it dangerous to post such information?
Finally, I agree with you that I'd rather he kept the LGND posts to the LGND thread. But I guarantee (well, pretty much) that if you post a dig at LGND here, he'll respond. So, if you really want him off the thread (which I, for one, don't), when you feel the urge to mention LGND, just bite your tongue (or finger).
All my opinion.
PLS |
