Thank you for your question.<\/p>\n
I have never heard of research into HIV treatment which you take once every 10 years. This too much to ask of any drug other than a vaccine. All current treatments require daily dosing, though this can be as little as 1 or 2 tablets per day.<\/p>\n
Some researchers are looking into whether it is possible to take medication once a month. However, this is still a long way off. Curing HIV is very difficult and it is still likely to take many years to work out.<\/p>\n
It sounds from your question as if you are not coping well with being HIV positive. It would be good to know whether you are taking treatment or if you are having problems with your treatment. That way we might be able to help.<\/p>\n
Many people still worry about being HIV positive and their life expectancy. However, with the current drugs available, it is hoped that most HIV-positive people will have a good quality of life for at least 20-30 years after starting treatment.<\/p>\n

I read late last year about a medication that is still on trial which requires taking one tablet between years i.e. if one takes a tablet today they are not required to take another pill for 10 years.<\/p>\n
I would like to know how far the research has gone. I know it was tried on humans and so far has worked to maintain the viral load and CD4. Please can you tell me how close they are in finding a cure because I am quite desperate to have one?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-cure"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283","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=1283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
