  for and by young people with HIV

 
 
health

A couple of weeks after my diagnosis, I went to the HIV clinic of my hospital. There, at my first visit, I immediately received my prescription for the medication based on my results. I was quite taken aback, as I was still getting myself together, sorting things psychologically then on top of all this comes this medicine!

I remember the day I came home from the hospital… I had a lot of problems in dealing with that decision. Luckily, I got prompt and good counsel. In the beginning I experienced some heavy side-effects. I had diarrhea and I felt nauseous. After about a month, I began to handle the medication better, and I began to feel a little stronger. I still suffered a little from fatigue though. Over a period of time, the medication has affected my energy level. I also feel a lot healthier.
