Living with HIV in the Philippines: Email 599: ARV's and FDA

Hi Pozzie!

Been reading your blog for months now and I must say this is very informative. Thank you for this. Just a brief introduction about me, Im 25 y/old bisexual, I was diagnosed to have this "gift" a few months ago, Im not yet taking ARVs cause my cd4 are still high.
Question sir, are ARVs FDA approved?

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi rare_specie.

Thank you for your email.

The antiretrovirals (ARV's) are all FDA approved. They are also approved by the WHO and CDC for treatment of HIV. Most of them have been in use since 1984 and they keep on getting better and better.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.

Stay healthy,

Pozziepinoy
