Starting HIV Treatment: Silke's Story
A combination of good health and a feeling of not being ready led Silke, a middle-aged woman originally from Germany, to live with HIV for more than 20 years before starting treatment. However, a drop in her CD4 count during a stressful time left her with no choice. Silke informed herself about her treatment options by doing research online and talking with other PHAs. She did have one issue with a drug interaction between her anti-HIV drugs and another medication, but otherwise her experience has been positive. Her health has improved, she has no side effects, and she finds the once-a-day schedule easy to follow. Une bonne santé jumelée à l'impression de ne pas être prête ont amené Silke, une femme d'âge mûr originaire d'Allemagne, à vivre avec le VIH pendant plus de 20 ans avant d'entreprendre un traitement. Mais une chute brusque de son compte de CD4 pendant une période difficile de sa vie ne lui a laissé aucun choix. Silke s'est informée au sujet des options de traitement en fouillant sur Internet et en discutant avec d'autres personnes vivant avec le VIH. Mis à part une interaction entre ses médicaments antirétroviraux et un autre médicament, son expérience a été positive. Sa santé s'est améliorée, elle n'a aucun effet secondaire, et elle trouve ses médicaments à prise uniquotidienne faciles à prendre.
