Hello
You are taking KALCID xl , as far as known to me this is clarithromycin of Abbott company .
This is indicated for susceptible infections, respiratory infections ( as for sore throat , mucus from mouth),' skin & soft tissue infection.
As you were a patient of upper respiratory infection and kalcid is most potent and effective drug for the treatment of such symptoms .
In your case you got relief from URI and that's why feeling better.
Now about your question .
Does kalcid gets rid of bacteria before forming HIV.
Abbott pharma in not claiming such thing .
There is a MISCONCEPTION in your brain that bacteria turns into HIV .
HIV is a VIRUS ( VIRAL ) disease and and bacteria in your case were a different organism .
So nothing happened like this , you got relief in URI .
If you have any doubt about HIV infection get in p24 ( PCR , RNA ) nucleic acid amplification test for confirmation for HIV.
Hope this will remove a misconception from your brain.

Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I advice you that klacid xl is antibiotic and has no effect on virus. HIV is virus and it wont be affected by the klacid xl. If you are infected with HIV it will remain in your body for life time. In other words there is no treatment of HIV.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
