I am seeking some information......I have been on AZT for twenty months
now, with no bad side effects.  However, my T cell count, after going up
to the low 300's from the low 100's, has gone back down to the very low
100's.  My Dr. has suggested that I start some additional preventitive
measures.  He is a leader in providing AIDS care in San Francisco.  He
suggested that Aerosol Pent. has become "trendy" and even more is not
systemic to the entire body.  Therefore I am on Fansidar, once a week.
I have been for six weeks, with no side effects that I am aware of. My
blood is monitored ever two weeks for "internal" problems. In looking
Fansidar up in the PDR, it only talks about it as a drug for Malaria.

Does anyone have additional information.......?  Please respond to
sci.med.aids if you do.   THANKS
