Be Prepared This Holy Week!
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 9:57 AM
For all the PLHIV's in the Philippines, here are some reminders and tips for the long Holy Week vacation:
1. Make you sure you have enough supply of ARV's at home.
2. Hubs are closed on Thursday, Friday and weekends during the Holy Week.
a. Make sure that you have ARV's that will last until the week after the Holy Week.
b. If you don't have enough ARV's, make sure to plan a visit to your hub immediately.
c. If you have opportunistic infections, make sure to plan a consultation with the HIV doctor prior to the vacation days so you will know what to do in case something happens.
3. HIV doctors will also be off work
a. Plan a visit if you need to prior to the vacation days.
b. Ask for any contact number or emergency hotline in case you need to contact a doctor during the Holy Week.
4. On travelling:
a. Make sure that you have ARV's in all your luggages in case you lose one.
b. If there will be any time zone differences, please consult your HIV doctor so you can plan on how to take your ARV's.
c. Make sure that you have your timers with you.
