The World Health Organization (WHO) highlights that antiretroviral treatments for HIV have various unpleasant side effects that patients are unaware of, even though their main goal is to fight the virus and prevent it from harming the body.
The HIV/AIDS medications have several side effects on the users, who may struggle due to the medicines. The drug's side effects might range from mild in some people to severe in others. One typical adverse effect of HIV is diarrhoea. The medication might induce diarrhoea in HIV patients because it includes ingredients that make you uncomfortable and upset your stomach. If so, you should speak with your doctor to see if you may get some medicines to assist you in managing the issue the pills have produced.
HIV/ADS medications might result in skin rashes in addition to diarrhoea. It is advised to avoid taking hot showers if you have rashes since they could irritate and worsen them. HIV medications can potentially cause lipodystrophy. The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describe lipodystrophy as a change in how your body stores and utilises fat (CDC). Patients with severe HIV/AIDS may lose fat from their hands and legs, giving them a slimmer appearance.
If your body reacts to antiretroviral therapy (ART) or your doctor changes your antiretroviral medication dose, you can encounter adverse effects. After a few weeks, they usually get better. Usually, there is some action you may do to mitigate the negative impact.
Short-Term Negative Impacts
See your doctor immediately if your symptoms don't go away, are severe, or come on suddenly. They'll be able to tell if it's the medicine or something else.
By making changes to one's lifestyle or habits, the majority of the short-term negative consequences can be prevented. Don't turn on the lights, please. Consume healthful foods and work out every day. If you need help, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Your doctor may give you instructions on how to take your HIV treatment or may recommend medicine to help you cope with its adverse effects. Your doctor can switch your HIV medications if required.
