Welcome to HCM
Hello, There is no cure for HIV in any stream of medican,we only treat the opportunistic infection that is the infection you come in contact with ,please check your CD 4 count once in 3 months ,if the CD 4 counts drop bellow 350 than it is considered to be in AIDS stage and antirectroviral drugs are needed to keep the person alive and reduce the occurrence of repeated infection
AS of now you do not require any medication
1.Inform your status to your sexual partner
2.Use condom to protect others and also getting reinfected with other strain
You have the infection now this cant be changed ,but worrying about it will cause you problems that is when a person is worried they don't eat/sleep properly causing nutritional deficiency leading to susceptibility to infection and lowering of CD 4
Talk to the Councillor at all government HIV centers they will help you overcome your depression
Thank you
