Here are some guidelines to make it easier.

• Have regular check-ups to monitor the progression of your HIV infection. Go to your local clinic or a private doctor who has expertise in HIV/AIDS. (I would advise going to a state Hospital and speaking too a doctor or councillor) • Have your CD4 count checked, HIV can’t be cured, but it can be treated with anti– retroviral medication. • Take a good daily multivitamin supplement. • Find out more about the virus; HIV itself does not kill, it is the related illness that can be fatal, so please stop drinking and smoking at once. • And at all time use condoms, because you can re -infect your self with the virus. Please do not have sex without a condom

Until next time!
