Find a support group
There are a number of support groups available in person at clinics and medical centers and online for people living with HIV to vent their issues and connect with others who are living in the same situation. Finding a support group in an area that is local will make it easier to find a support system to cope with those tough moments.
Stay on top of treatments
Although there is no current cure for HIV, it can still be managed with medication, diet and regular exercise. Make sure to keep track of doctor’s appointments and speak to your doctor about any changes or discomforts that may arise in your health. Make a schedule for when medications are supposed to be taken and stay on top of refills.
