Email 440: On Taking ARV's

Dear Pozzie Pinoy,

I began taking ARV drugs last December 22. Upon doctor's advice, I take these drugs around 11 am and around 11 pm. I haven't experienced any side effects to this day. However, I do not take these drugs at exactly 11. I recall having taken them about 11:35 pm at one time and around 10:45 pm at another. My friend told me that I should have taken the drugs at exactly 11:00. I am quite confused because my doctor told me that I can take the drugs between 10 and 12. What should I do? And what repercussions will there be? Thank you.
