I am not familiar with how services work in Canada but I familiar with the US and UK--they may well be using these drugs first as part of the requirements of their formulary. That does not mean they are the best drugs but must be used before some of the newer APs are used. Regardless, this is a very very difficult situation--hard to manage clinically, hard for the patient and extremely difficult for loved ones and family. This will probablt take a long time with many disappointments and much hope. Do not give up, do not abandon him but you can not manage his care and recovery. I hope you visit here often for support and information--there are some very knowledgeable people her--but remember--none of us know the situation as well as your son and the medical professionals now working with him fca
