“Always remember that you have AIDS!” That’s what I am telling myself all the time. Is it because I might forget that I still have the virus inside me and that I should always be alert? Is it because I might let my guard down and allow the opportunistic infections to get a hold of my health again?
For almost 6 months now, I’ve never been sick again. Like what I wrote before, I’ve never been afflicted with any illnesses. No fever, no diarrhea (well, except on my azithro day which is definitely related to it). tag said I am in my best health now and I agree. There were times when I get bouts of a little cough, maybe because of me getting tired from work but nothing serious. I don’t catch a cold nor flu too and that is good.
Should I still be concerned? YES! I have a virus in me that I have to pay close attention too. I maybe feeling healthy now but there are opportunistic infections still out there ready to attack.
I don’t want to be sick ever again so I have to do my part:
- Proper hygiene, all the time.
- Keep fit. Exercise regularly.
- Eat healthy. If you can avoid street food.
- Rest. Don’t over do yourself. Infections can attack when you are at your weakest.
- Keep your environment clean. Use alcogels or alcohol when necessary.
- Use handkerchief or a mask in a crowded place, or just avoid crowding.
