BOSTON - A Fitchburg woman who received nine years of HIV (news - web sites) treatments after she was misdiagnosed with the virus is suing the doctors and clinics who treated her.

Audrey Serrano, 41, said she was diagnosed with the virus that causes AIDS (news - web sites) in 1994 by the Family Practice Clinic in Fitchburg, but six blood tests since Labor Day show she does not have HIV. The lawsuit was filed Dec. 29 in Worcester Superior Court and seeks unspecified damages.

"It's nice to not constantly feel like you're going to die, literally," she said. "I'm still tired a lot, though."

Serrano claims she's suffered a variety of physical ailments — including colitis, an inflammation of the intestine — because of AZT and other harsh medicines she took daily to fight the virus, which attacks the immune system. Emotional distress led to depression, she said.
