Email 440: On Taking ARV's
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 6:30 AM
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.
We always advocate for strict adherence. This means that taking the ARV's at the same time everyday, no minute or hour delays. We all want our fellow PLHIV's to have this strict adherence to value the importance of ARV's and start being responsible.
I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.
