Question

What will happen to my skin if I miss a few days of treatment?

What happens to the skin of a person living with HIV if they are not taking tablets as prescribed or skip 1/2 days?

Answer

Hi, how are you?

How often are you skipping your medication? Missing your medication every so often is not going to risk your treatment not working e.g., missing a day or 2 every few months. More often than this and it does risk HIV becoming resistant to your medication. You are then at risk of HIV complications.

Have you noticed any changes to your skin? and is there a reason that these tablets are not being taken as prescribed?

Josh.
