How to living with HIV?

Time:2022/12/06

How do I take care of myself with HIV?

The best way to take care of yourself while living with HIV is to follow your treatment plan.

Make sure to take your medications as prescribed and on time.

Show up to all appointments so your healthcare team can monitor how you’re feeling and know if there’s a need to adjust your treatment.

Follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations on how to avoid additional illnesses.

If I have HIV, how can I keep from spreading it to others?

The best ways to keep from spreading HIV to others are many of the same ways you use to protect yourself:
Let sexual partners and anyone you inject drugs with know that you have HIV.

Follow your treatment plan and don’t miss medications. If you have an undetectable viral load, you greatly reduce the risk of transmitting HIV through sex.

Talk to your sexual partner about taking PrEP.

Wear condoms for vaginal, anal and oral sex — even if you have an undetectable viral load.

Don’t share needles or other equipment to inject drugs.

Limit the number of sexual partners you have.

If you’re pregnant and have HIV, following your treatment plan, including ART medications, can reduce your risk of transmitting the virus to your child.

Can I get pregnant if I have HIV?

Some people think that HIV hurts your chances of getting pregnant, but this isn’t true. If you have HIV and want to become pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider. Together you can make a plan before you try to get pregnant to keep you, your partner and any future children healthy.

HIV can spread to your partner during unprotected sex and to your baby during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Taking ART medications can greatly reduce your risk of transmitting HIV to your baby, especially if you have an undetectable viral load. Your provider may recommend that you don’t breastfeed your baby and use formula instead.
