Protection through therapy
If you are taking HIV therapy as an HIV-positive man and therefore no viruses can be detected in your blood in the long term, HIV cannot be transmitted even during sex without a condom. We then speak of protection through therapy.
It is important that you take your HIV medication reliably. This is the only way the therapy can work. This will be checked by your doctor every three months. You can find more information about protection through therapy here.
Choice of doctor
If you have received an HIV-positive test result, you should have a medical examination and counselling as soon as possible. The best way to do this is with an HIV specialist - a so-called speciality doctor.
Starting HIV treatment early will enable you to live a long and good life. In order to find the best treatment for you, you should definitely consult experts. The best way to do this is to find a specialist doctor. Only they can decide when it is the right time to start drug treatment.
If you come from a village or a smaller town, it may be that there is neither a specialised doctor nor a local AIDS service there. In this case, it is worth travelling to the next larger town to get advice from a specialist.
