When you say awful, what do you mean? What side effects are you having? And what ARVs are you taking?<\/p>\n
Side effects are common when first starting meds. They usually go after 2-4 weeks, or they become easier to manage. Therefore, you could give your body some more time to get used to them.<\/p>\n
With regards to stopping them because of your studies, the World Health Organisation recommend that everyone is on meds regardless of their CD4. Therefore, even if you’rs is high, its recommended that you say on them. However, only you can decide if you want to say on meds.<\/p>\n
For what will happen if you choose to stop taking meds please see quesiton 7 here:<\/p>\n
