>But why do you continue treatment until March if you don’t have any virus in your body to fight?

Good question!

Firstly the test doesn’t say virus free, it just says it is below the limit of detection. The virus could still be there but at very low levels.

Secondly the test only checks the blood, the virus is believed to “lurk” in other tissues and organs.

We are hopefully mopping up the last few pockets of resistence over the next months.

OK, from what I found at this web site: http://www.mydr.com.au/default.asp?article=3583, a “PCR negative result” means that there was no virus to be found.

That seems like a good thing.

But why do you continue treatment until March if you don’t have any virus in your body to fight?
