Hi Pozzie,

Good day!

Happy new year sir!

First I want to tell you my background, currently I’m working in a BPO company. Im 30 years old when I was diagnosed last February 2012. My hub is SLH, and right after I was diagnosed I started with my treatment right away because my doctor says that I was co-infected with hepatitis C and I needed to start my medications. So he gave me Azt+3tc and NPV, but it only took me 1 week for that combination because I had a rash for allergy so I was admitted to SLH for medication and observation because my doctor changed from NPV to efavirenz. After a week of medications there, they told me that I can continue with the efavirenz as I don’t have allergy on it, but they never treated my hepatitis C.
