A little advice for those who are HIV positive. Please never stop taking your antiretroviral medications even when your viral load seems to be suppressed. When your viral load is suppressed, the test will neither show positive or negative. Some people interprets this result to mean that, they are cured so they stop taking their medications. This is what happens, during this period, the virus senses danger, goes and hide itself maybe at the lymph nodes waiting for conditions to be favorable so that it can come out again and start multiplying. So when you stop medications, it comes back with full force, multiplies rapidly, invades the immune system and destroy your organs. So, by the time you start getting signs of not feeling well, most of your organs must have been damaged and this is what kills. Note that, mojority of viruses do no have cure they can only be treated. Their ability to play tricks or forming resistance makes them unable to cure.
