< My viral lode is now undetectable and T-Cells over 500 even though I miss dosages from time to time.> I think these doctors here on the thread have made it very clear on the consequences of missing doses. The "news" that came out today prove that strict adherence is the best defense against resistance. Be more carefull. In a few years you will see AGPH marketing the Rhinovirus Inhibitor.

Also Izzy, my HMO pays for everthing. I prefer not to mention their name. This HMO pays for everything including blood monitoring which is done at least every two months. The only expense that I pay is the monthly premium and $5 deductible for each drug. I live in NYC and I believe that most HMO"S pick up costs. If necessary, one may apply to state ADAP for assistance. I don't believe anyone is denied who seriously wants treatment. Viracept is very easy to take, dosage three times a day. I have three little pill cases that I that I put the meds in to make it convenient, organized and discreet. I take the meds morning and evening at home. Intra day I take one of the little pill cases with me which at that time is only three pills of Viracept. Taking these meds consistently helps me maintain a healthy regular diet. I probably eat better now than ever. Morning: Bowl of cereal and fresh squeezed OJ w/ meds Lunch: usually baked potato with broccali, salad etc w/meds Evening: I eat what ever I want w/meds. If I am hungry in between, I eat fruits, apples, a lot of oranges, cantalope etc. I'll be really happy when the Viracept BID (twice daily is approved). Then the taking of meds will be not such a life style. Currently, I jog 3-4 miles per day and have never felt healthier. Nobody would ever suspect that I have Aids. I hope this answers most of your questions. Cherry
