Hai,
once started ,drugs for HIV should be taken without a break, otherwise the drug you are taking will not act against HIV.
HIV drug should be restarted for you.But at present you cant take it straight away. your HIV consultant will assess you, clinically & assess your immunity with cd4 count & plan about your further medication.
even if dont have symptoms now, you should take hiv medicine regularly under your doctor supervision.
