ANTIBIOTICS IN ARV TREATMENT

The two research papers below give the latest view on ARV treatment and the destruction of the gut lining. The breakdown of the gut lining allows the bacteria from the gut to enter the blood stream.

So the task with ARV is to mend the gut lining to block entry of bacteria and to allow the return of the gut function to normal with absorption of water, salts and nutrients.

So those commencing ARV also have treatment of antibiotics perhaps SEPTRIN to reduce the bacteria in the gut. The HIV can remain in the CD4 cells of the gut lining.
