   I just forgot to take my ARV medication at 20H00 and I did take it at 00H50 so is it not going to make a default or any harm?

   Hi Kutala,

   How are you coping with your diagnoses? Are you able to get any support?

   When you were diagnosed were you told what your CD4 is? Are you aware of what your viral load is?

   How and when you start ARVs will depend on where you live. However, the World Health Organisation recommend that everyone who is positive should be on ARVs. Wasn’t this discussed with you when you were diagnosed? If it wasn’t then the following guide may be of some help:

   I’ve just found out that I’m HIV positive. I’m not taking any pills for now. I don’t know where to start. What can I do?

   Hi Nelisile,

   What meds are you on? How long have you been on them for? Do you suffer from side effects?
