Hello everybody,

Well the day has come. I finally had my Doctor visit at NIH today and am now under a new study. Well basically the study is getting off Epivir "Lamivudine". I had to sign a few paper, gave some extra blood work and starting tomorrow I will no longer be taking that medication. I was told the study has been going on for 2 years now and that I am the 14 patient. I ask a few questions and out of 13 they say only 5 had to be put back on treatment, which is Viread. I will be on Viread too if my virus become positive again. I am being monitor once a month for the first 6 month, then if everything goes well it will be every 3 month visit, and after that every 6 month and if all goes well I will visit once a year. But that's way down the road which I pray that will happen. Again, I feel great and am feeling happy.
