This web page is intended to provide an overview of the background biology, disease course, effects on the immune system and the current potential and problems of treatment.We describe the side effects of treatment but also the reasons why the treatment works, so that both should be easier to understand.
We have assumed that an understanding of the background biology will help in coping with the disease. The web page is also intended to help those concerned to decide for or against drug treatment. We describe the side effects of treatment but also the reasons why the treatment works, so that both should be easier to understand.The aim is to empower those concerned and increase their motivation and determination to flight the virus even harder.
