I am a 56 year old female that has HIV since 2006. I weigh about 226 pounds. My viral load is 60 and my T cell count is 460. I am on Truvad and Isentress I have been itching and a rash and been brusing alot lately. The brusing is my most concern my 8 month old grandson can not even stand on my legs without brusing my thighs. His weight is about 20 lbs. I do have alot of sweating lately but mostly in the evening not a night. My itching is not a normal itch it is a deep itching mostly on my left side of my back but no rash but I do have itching on my lelft back side of my calf that does have a rash. My weight loss is not alot about 2 pounds every 2 months. Should I speak with my HIV doctor (Satish Mocherla) about doing a CBC count just to see what is going on. Thank you and sorry about any misspelling of words I m new to this computer.
hi thanks for your question please consult your treating physician and take a CBC and also liver function tests as soon as possible to check the amount of platelets and other blood cells. bruising might be due to decreased platelet counts. itching might also be due to any other exposure or may be sometimes due to adverse effect of ante retroviral drug. hope i have answered your question
