Hi Graca, I'm so glad you've found this list. I've never used AZT, only interferon alpha. I've used it daily, but others use it 3 days on/ 3 off, or 7 days on/ 7 off.I don't know the cause for anemia, but as I understand, a positive cat typically has the virus in the bone marrow

unfortunately, there's an entire subclass of folks who insist that FIV is the same thing as HIV, and actually use the entire human protocol, including AZT, on cats. don't get me started... On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 9:05 PM, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: AZT is one of the drugs in the Aids
