The Basics on Making Decisions About Therapies

Need some help deciding what therapy might be best for you? Here are some things to think about as you make up your mind.

Get Informed About Treatment

One of the most important things you can do to live healthy with HIV is to get informed about HIV disease, treatment options, and strategies. 

Explore Your Beliefs About Therapy

Use your beliefs and fears about therapy as a prompt to help you get a solid grip on the facts around your therapeutic options. Challenge your beliefs and reconcile them with the facts as you make your decision.

Ask About the Experience of Friends and People You Trust

One of your greatest resources for information about living well with HIV is other people who are doing exactly that.  Don't hesitate to ask your friends questions about their treatment decisions and how they worked out for them.

What Is Your Healthcare Provider's Opinion?

Use your healthcare provider as a resource for information that will help you make an informed decision. Ask questions, and lots of them.

Switching or Stopping Medications

There are many things to consider before switching or stopping a therapy. Of course, your healthcare provider will be a great resource to tap, but there are others as well.
