This section has specific information for those of you who haven’t yet been advised to start taking medication. 

There's another part for you if you are having to make decisions about starting treatment, or have already started it.

We also look at:

  • taking pills
  • side-effects
  • how medication might react with other drugs
  • how you can become resistant to HIV meds.

Some of us found starting treatment a difficult time. But we hope this section will make it easier for you.
