Shawn Decker has a blog (http://blogs.poz.com/shawn/) on this website.

Shawn and Gwenn are very inspiring.
Shawn, by the way takes his ARV meds unconventionally. With his doctor's approval he is on a one week on and one week off dosage.
I sent him a message just recently because I was curious what meds he is on. I guess that kind of dosage can only work if someone has been undetectable for a while and if the half-life of each of the meds is pretty long.
EDITED TO ADD:
I just checked and, for anyone who is curious, Shawn's response is this:
I'm currently on Reyataz, Truvada and Ritonivir. Have been since 2005. Went on the drugs non-stop for a year, and have been doing the week on, week off treatment schedule since 2006.
He had mentioned in the original blog entry that his last labs were: 511 CD4s at 28% and <48 VL (and that they have been in this ballpark for a couple of years).
