It has been a month now that she stopped. I tried talking to her, arranged counselling for her but nothing helps. My fear is that she is on line-three medication and if she decides to start drinking the medication again now it will not work. She refuses to go to a doctor\/psychologist\/councillor. I&#8217;m worried that her health will start to deteriorate seeing that HIV multiplies everyday if not drinking ARV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,7,9,55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adherence","category-all-topics","category-cd4-and-viral-load","category-stopping-treatment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20214"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21447,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20214\/revisions\/21447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
