Taking Different Pills At Once

Taking medication alongside ARVs will help to strengthen your immune system

- Clement Fana Ntuli

HIV thrives in your body before you start taking your medication, compromising your immune system. Consequently, it allows for opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis, pneumonia and shingles to attack you and before you know it, you are dealing with more than just HIV. This leads to you starting on Antiretrovirals (ARVs) while treating other conditions.

TAKING MULTIPLE PILLS

For many people, dealing with HIV and opportunistic infections is a challenge they have to face in order to get their lives back on track.

Once people find themselves in this situation, they start to question whether they must take all the medication at the same time.
