By being on antivirals (and antifungals for that matter), you could think of it

as 'freeing up resources', even if the antivirals don't target a specific virus.

That being said, in the last 25 years of CFIDS and other research on viral

titers, very high titers of course don't necessarily mean active infection, but

rather they can be a significant marker of immune dysfunction and

dysregulation. In those instances, you can have other things triggering the

titers that just won't go down. Even food intolerances, allergies, and other

immune reactions to current illnesses can increase those titers as well.

So overall, by removing as many triggers as you can (and often supplements and

'healthy foods' can be big triggers), and allowing time on these meds, you have

the most chance to see them decline. Things like IMGG or IVIG that can force a

downregulation do not typically hold.
