Hydroxyurea has been studied in combination with the antiviral drugs ddI and d4T. Most doctors start antiviral therapy when a person has some symptoms of HIV disease, when their T-cell count (CD4+ cells) falls below 350, or if their viral load is over 30,000. There are no absolute rules about when to start antiviral drugs. Some people want to “hit HIV hard and early”, starting with the strongest drugs to preserve the immune system.
