This means there is no urgency to start HIV treatment (ART).<\/p>\n<p>Part of this will be your choice and part it might related to guidelines in your country, Even though South Africa recommends treatment for everyone, it might take a while for people with high CD4 counts to all be treated.<\/p>\n<p>Is is good that your warts go better by themselves. This shows you have a strong immune system.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes HIV test nees to be checked a couple of times becasue of lab or test errors. It sounds like this might have happened in your case.<\/p>\n<p>It is good that you are prescribed TB treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I tested HIV positive in Feb and I am not on ARVs\u00a0as yet my doctor prescribed me with vitamin supplements and TB\u00a0protection.<\/p>\n<p>At\u00a0the time I tested positive my CD4count was 770 and I had vaginal warts. The warts went away by themselves so I was wondering how long can I stay with out treatment and for the warts to go away by themselves a good thing or bad.<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to know why the first HIV test was positive and the second one that confirms came back negative and I had to take tests for the lab which then came back positive.thank you in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,7,29,49,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-access-to-treatment","category-all-topics","category-opportunistic-infections","category-south-africa","category-starting-treatment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11554\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
