If it is ok to take other medications for general illnesses like flu, fever headache etc while not on HIV treatment yet ?
Answer
Yes. This is not a problem.
Even though you have HIV, it is fine to use any other meds for other symptoms, just as if you were HIV-negative.
If you were on treatment, you need to check that other prescribed and over-the-counter meds don’t interact with your HIV drugs, but ‘flu and headache meds do not have these interactions anyway.
