HIV Treatment at PULSE Clinic and Pharmacy: Your Trusted Destination for HIV Care in Thailand

At PULSE Clinic, we offer comprehensive HIV treatment through antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART works by reducing the HIV virus to undetectable levels, allowing individuals to live healthy lives and even start families.

It’s essential to begin ART as soon as possible, no matter how long you’ve had HIV or your current health condition. Delaying treatment can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of transmission, illness, and AIDS.

Antiretroviral Therapy (ART): Achieving an Undetectable HIV Viral Load

 

What to Expect During Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Doctor Visits

---

HIV-related doctor visits can feel intimidating, but they are as straightforward as any routine medical appointment:

• Routine Checkups: Your doctor will assess how HIV is impacting your health through questions and physical exams.
• HIV Transmission Prevention: Expect discussions about ways to prevent transmitting HIV to sexual or injection partners.
• Viral Load Monitoring: Blood tests will measure your viral load to track the effectiveness of your HIV treatment.
• Additional Screenings: You may be tested for other infections, receive immunizations, and have your overall health monitored.
• Personalized HIV Treatment: Your doctor will prescribe and adjust your ART regimen to ensure optimal results, using blood test data to guide treatment decisions.

 

Understanding Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)

---

• No Cure for HIV: Although there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART) helps control the virus and prevents complications.
• When to Start ART: Everyone diagnosed with HIV should start ART immediately, regardless of disease stage or symptoms.
• Ongoing Treatment: Even with an undetectable viral load, it's vital to continue taking ART daily.
• Combination Therapy: ART typically involves a combination of two or more medicines to reduce HIV in the blood. Some options allow you to take just one pill per day.

 

HIV is Not the End

---

While there is no cure for HIV, achieving an undetectable viral load can lead to a normal life expectancy and prevent transmission. At PULSE Clinic, we provide expert care to help you manage HIV and live a healthy life. With our support, you can even start a family and enjoy a fulfilling life.

 

What is U=U?

---

Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) means that people with HIV who maintain an undetectable viral load cannot transmit the virus through sexual contact. Most people achieve this within 6 months of starting ART. At PULSE Clinic, we monitor your viral load with regular blood tests to ensure you're undetectable and untransmittable.

 

How Often Do You Take HIV Medication?

---

Typically, people newly diagnosed with HIV take between 1 to 4 pills daily. The combination of medicines is tailored to each individual. Most people on daily ART achieve an undetectable viral load within 6 months.

 

What Happens If You Stop Taking HIV Medication?

---

If you stop taking HIV medication, your viral load will quickly rise, increasing the risk of transmission and health complications. It's crucial to continue your treatment even if your viral load becomes undetectable. If you're considering stopping or have already stopped, consult your doctor immediately to resume your treatment safely.

 

Side Effects of HIV Medication

---

HIV medications can cause some side effects, including:

• Headaches
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness
