HIV/AIDS

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a viral infection that attacks the body's immune system, making it harder to fight infections and certain diseases. If left untreated, HIV can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the most advanced stage of the infection. With early diagnosis, appropriate medical care, and consistent treatment, many people living with HIV can maintain a healthy immune system, lead long and active lives, and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others.

  • Getting your medicines delivered, subject to availability and applicable regulations.

Q2. Can HIV medicines interact with other medicines or supplements?

Yes. HIV medicines may interact with prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, herbal products, and dietary supplements.

Before starting treatment:

  • Tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take.

  • Do not start, stop, or change any medicine without medical advice.

Q3. What are the common side effects of HIV medicines?

Common side effects vary depending on the medicine prescribed but may include:

  • Nausea

  • Headache

  • Diarrhoea

  • Fatigue

  • Difficulty sleeping

Not everyone experiences side effects. Contact your doctor if they are severe, persistent, or concerning.

Q4. What precautions should I take before using HIV medicines?

Before taking these medicines:

  • Inform your doctor about any liver or kidney conditions.

  • Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy.

  • Inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you use.

  • Take your medicines exactly as prescribed and attend regular follow-up appointments.

Q5. Can I take HIV medicines without a doctor's prescription?

No. HIV medicines require a valid doctor's prescription and should only be used under medical supervision. Taking HIV medicines incorrectly or without medical advice may reduce their effectiveness and increase the risk of medicine resistance.

Q6. Why is it important to take HIV medicines every day?

Antiretroviral therapy works best when taken consistently as prescribed. Missing doses can allow the virus to multiply and may reduce the effectiveness of treatment over time. Taking your medicines every day helps maintain viral suppression and supports long-term health.
