I received no treatment, nor any follow-up to see if my anemia had improved. It seems like I was just as anemic as others who did receive treatment, but wasn't offered any.

Treatment with Procrit has been proven to improve the anemia, as well as the symptoms of fatigue and energy loss.
Anemia can become a serious condition if left untreated.
One study actually demonstrated that people with HIV related anemia, live longer if the anemia is treated.
