Since I was diagnosed early, my Doctors plan of treatment for me is more on Prophylaxis.
Here are some of my Prophylaxis Treatment:
Tuberculosis Prophylaxis - Isoniazid 300mg/tab once a day for 9 months
Flu Vaccine Injection - Done every year
Pneumonia Vaccine Injection - Done every 5 years
Hepatitis B Vaccine Injection- 3 doses + booster dose.
I am also taking Multivitamins with Iron (1tab) and Ascorbic Acid (1gram) as my everyday Supplement.
United Western Visayas Incorporated (UWVI),
is a community-based group (CBG) of people
living with HIV based in Iloilo and operating in Panay and Guimaras
areas with Ilonggo members across the country. The organization is
active in both prevention of HIV and promotion of treatment and care
among its members who are HIV positive as well as affected families. It
strives to address stigma and discrimination in order to
build
confidence among the newly diagnosed to access services at the local
treatment hub based in the Western Visayas Medical Center.
The organization has a rich history since its inception in 2005 during the global fund round 5 project. The strong membership and advocacy of the group has helped the Western Visayas Medical Center to have its own CD4 machine, the first outside Manila and a half-way house based in Santa Barbara in Iloilo.
My Treatment, care and Support has been a great help to me and I would like to say my sincerest appreciation to my Treatment Hub and my Support Group for accepting me as a Person Living with HIV and has inspired me to push through with my Advocacy.
