&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;Frequently Asked Questions About Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;HIV treatment, called antiretroviral therapy (ART), uses prescribed medications to lower the HIV virus to undetectable levels, making it untraceable by standard tests. With this type of treatment, ART helped people living with HIV start a family and enjoy a happy, healthy life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Starting ART is crucial for everyone with HIV, regardless of how long they&#39;ve had the virus or their health status. Delaying treatment can damage the immune system and increase the risk of transmission, illness, and AIDS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is U=U?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You might have heard the phrase &#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/uu-faq-undetectable-equals-untransmittable&quot;&gt;Undetectable = Untransmittable&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&#39;. Most people living with HIV who follow a daily antiretroviral therapy regimen can achieve an undetectable viral load within six months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When someone with HIV is undetectable and maintains this status for at least six months, the risk of sexual transmission is effectively zero. This is estimated to be 100% effective as long as they continue taking their prescribed medication. At PULSE Clinic, we perform regular blood tests to monitor your progress and determine when your virus is undetectable and untransmittable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Often Do You Take HIV Medication?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;People newly diagnosed with HIV typically take between 1 and 4 pills daily. The specific combination of HIV medicines is tailored to each individual.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Treatment effectiveness is monitored by measuring the viral load; an undetectable viral load means the virus cannot be measured. Most people on daily HIV treatment achieve an undetectable viral load within 6 months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Happens If You Stop Taking HIV Medication?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you stop taking your HIV medication, your viral load will quickly increase. It&amp;rsquo;s important to continue taking your HIV medicine as prescribed, even if your viral load is undetectable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re considering stopping your medication or have concerns about your treatment, consult your doctor. If you&amp;rsquo;ve already stopped, reach out to your health care provider immediately. They can help address any issues that led to discontinuation and assist you in resuming your medication regimen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are There Any Side Effects from HIV Medications?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While on HIV medication, you might experience symptoms such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Headaches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Dizziness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Nausea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vomiting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Diarrhea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Difficulty sleeping&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot; aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Fatigue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;We know that side effects like nausea or diarrhea can make it challenging to stick with HIV treatment. Your healthcare provider can offer medications or other support to help manage most side effects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If your HIV treatment is causing significant discomfort, discuss it with your healthcare provider. They may recommend additional medications to alleviate the side effects or adjust your treatment plan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Early diagnosis is crucial in HIV management&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, as it enables timely initiation of treatment and reduces the risk of transmission. PULSE HIV clinics in Bangkok and oversea clinics strive to make testing accessible and convenient for everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;We offer a range of testing options, including rapid tests, blood tests, and self-testing kits. Our clinics also provide confidential and anonymous testing services, eliminating barriers such as stigma and discrimination. Our clinics ensure that individuals who test positive are linked to care immediately, promoting early intervention and reducing disease progression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Comprehensive &amp;amp; Holistics Treatment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; PULSE clinics are at the forefront of treatment for people living with HIV.

They conduct outreach programs, organise awareness campaigns, and collaborate with community-based organisations to promote HIV prevention, education, and testing. These efforts are crucial in reaching remote areas, marginalised communities, and key populations at higher risk of HIV transmission. In addition, by actively involving the community, our clinics foster a supportive environment, reduce discrimination, and strengthen the overall response to HIV/AIDS in Thailand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
