Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
Restarting your medication can help improve your life expectancy. Have the doctors currently given you an estimate without going back on treatment?<\/p>\n
Do you know your current CD4 count and viral load?<\/p>\n
Starting treatment again will help reverse some of the damage caused by PML. Are you currently having any active treatment for PML? Depending on the severity of PML you currently have will have a significant impact on your life expectancy.<\/p>\n
Without knowing your current lab results\/PML severity I cannot comment on expected life expectancy. With HIV treatment you can expect to extend your life expectancy, but this is multifactorial and a number of conditions will influence what outcome you can expect from starting treatment again.<\/p>\n
Do you want to restart the same treatment you were on previously? and was there a reason you had stopped with treatment?<\/p>\n

I have have HIV and I haven’t been taking my medication for about ten years now. The doctors said I have AIDs. If I start my medication again how long do you think I can live?
