Fuzeon for HIV Infection User Reviews

"A very effective drug for people who have failed many other drug combinations. I have had 12 years of different drug combinations (salvage therapy) that were not very effective. I started taking Fuzeon over 2 years ago in combination with a clinical trial drug CR 5, with immediate results, with increased T-cell counts and an undetectable viral load. Worst side effect is painful swelling at the injection site."

"Once I added this medicine to the 2 other medicines I was taking, my T-cell count went very high and my viral load went undetectable for the first time ever. Even though it does take a little time to learn the technique, it was well worth it. Definitely recommend this medicine. No side effects at all from this medication either, 5 years plus and still doing great on it. The other 2 medicines I am on are Videx EC and Isentress. In fact, I was in the study for Merck for Isentress."

"Very effective medication. Could not raise my T-cell count or lower my viral load until Fuzeon was added to my 2 other medications. Now, after taking Fuzeon for a few months combined with 2 other medicines, my T-cell count increased, and for the first time, viral load undetectable. Awesome medicine for me."

"It (along with Selzentry) was finally able to get my viral load to undetectable. It had hovered in the 100-150 for years. The drug is actually an injection, which is absolutely miserable to get (you inject yourself). You also end up with uncomfortable lumps where you injected yourself. The drug does seem to work, and if there are no options, it seems to do its job. Because of the expense, you may have problems getting insurance to pay for it."

"A life-saving medication for me since all other medications have become ineffective. Also, I experience no systemic side effects from it."
