What happens when you take ARV’s for 3 days and realize that you are not ready to start and then stop. Is there any danger in doing so?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
What’s your CD4 count? Is there any specific reason why you aren’t ready?
In the beginning it can be hard when starting meds. This, however, should get better in time.
If you’ve started, but decided that now isn’t the right time for you, that’s up to you. You doing this won’t cause you any serious problems. It will, however mean that your HIV isn’t under control.
