In fact, it is antiviral therapy. The so-called cocktail therapy is like adjusting cocktails in the West. It combines three Antiviral drug to treat AIDS according to certain laws. According to research, 70% of AIDS patients have been treated with cocktail therapy for 3-6 months, and HIV can not be detected in the peripheral blood, and the viral load is close to zero. Since the application of cocktail therapy, the life expectancy of HIV carriers and AIDS patients has increased by 13.8 years on average, and the improvement of survival rate of patients has also significantly reduced the mortality rate of AIDS by about 40%.
But cocktail therapy should have good therapeutic effects, avoid drug resistance, and patients should have good dependence. There should be strict requirements for the time and amount of medication, and medication should be taken consistently. The two medication times should be consistent, and there should be no significant deviation. During medication, virus load should be regularly monitored to actively prevent drug resistance.
Experts pointed out that cocktail therapy is more effective for early AIDS patients, but not helpful for patients in middle and late stages. Because HIV has defeated the human immune system and cannot be reversed.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment Delays the Development of Disease without Illness
The premise of cocktail therapy is that the patient's CD4 (T lymphocyte) must be below 350 or the virus load must be above 100000. Patients with CD4 levels above 350 or viral load below 100000 are not suitable for cocktail therapy. Some doctors believe that such patients can use traditional Chinese medicine to delay their illness.
AIDS can be clinically divided into four stages: acute infection, Asymptomatic, AIDS and late AIDS. The CD4 of infected people in Asymptomatic stage was more than 350. According to the western medicine treatment plan, the patients in this period do not need treatment. The duration of this period is theoretically 8 to 12 years. Traditional Chinese medicine gives play to the advantages of not getting sick, and tries to control before the onset of AIDS.
After the demonstration of TCM experts, TCM therapy can be used to delay the onset of disease at this stage. For patients at this stage, it is best to extend the incubation period and improve immunity. At this stage, the patient's immune system has not been completely destroyed.
