Taking your HIV treatment

Taking your HIV treatment booklet

This booklet provides basic information about how HIV treatment works, what taking it involves and how to manage it in your life.

You’ll get the most benefit from your treatment if you take each dose at the right time, in the right way (often described as ‘adherence’). The booklet gives some advice to help you to do this and explains what can happen if doses are missed, including drug resistance.

This booklet is not intended to replace discussion with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. But it can be a starting point for those discussions.
