Re: Dishonest doctoring

You mean beyond the classic you will be dead in 6months if you dont start now? I had that, then it was you have cancer because I had a cyst, then it was your stats are too low -you gonna die, then it was you have kidney failure and may need a transplant if you dont take ARVs now, then it was come in every week so we can see how your liver is doing because it has AIDS, then it was you must have HepB coz your liver stats are off! All of which have been zero prognosis, not one came to pass. This from a guy who wouldnt discuss athletes foot, and from a guy who when sending reference letters clearly states 'we have recommended ARVs for this patient but they not taking it'? Impunity. ie hand off our patient! They wont help you and they sure as hell wont let anyone else.

Re: Breaking in your doctor

My brief experience, as someone who has never taken ARVs and continues to do the quarterly thing, is that no other medicine is applied as long as ARVs are not taken. There is no protocol for treating the unARVed. It is a major black hole in the thought patterns of the Drs about what to do first or what to do next. If you present with dandruff and are poz and not on meds I bet they cant think what to do next. The fact that issues remaining untreated for a long time are likely only to get worse, Im sure, does occur to them, but then that would only prove their point. So help is not coming from that avenue.

Disclosing beyond the infectious diseases department yields the samne result. Its please get back on your ARVs from even the most proficient naturopath. For that reason I suggest not telling at all. Not dentists or anyone from whom objectivity would be helpful.
