All individuals diagnosed with HIV should start antiretroviral therapy (ART) to stop virus replication and help the immune system recover.

HIV Treatment: Getting Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) and HIV Prescription Refills

HIV Treatment in Thailand at PULSE Clinic and Pharmacy - Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) and HIV Prescription Refills


We want to ensure everyone has the best chance of living a healthy life.

If you are diagnosed with HIV, one of the first steps you should take is to start treatment as early as possible. Why? Well, we know that treatment keeps your immune system healthy and reduces the risk of developing health conditions associated with HIV.

Treatment can also lower the viral load of HIV in your blood to virtually undetectable levels, and research from two international studies, PARTNER and Opposites Attract show that HIV positive men who are on treatment and have an undetectable viral load (UVL) do not transmit HIV to their partners.

In the early days of HIV care when only a few treatments were available, people with HIV and their doctors would often delay treatment until someone’s CD4 count fell to around 200, basically, to a point where the immune system was very weak. At the time, this was thought to be the best moment to start treatment because the only treatments available were known to cause side effects. But these days, anti-retroviral therapy (ART) treatments are more effective, are far better tolerated by the body and with many more to choose from you can find what’s best for you.

The Most Critical Time to Begin HIV Treatment Is Immediately After Diagnosis


Findings from the START study have shown that early, if not immediate, treatment increases health and life expectancy, and prevents serious illness including cancer, renal and liver disease by more than 50% compared to those who delay starting treatment. Importantly, the study results confirm that there is no harm associated with immediate treatment.

Further, in the early stages after contracting HIV your viral load is very high and that means you’re at greater risk of transmitting HIV. HIV is actually much more likely to be transmitted by people who don’t know they’ve got it – often, soon after they themselves have been infected.

So, if you’ve been diagnosed with HIV, early treatment will keep you healthy and your partners safe. Win-win.

 

Why Choose HIV Treatment in Thailand?


Thailand follows advanced, high-standard guidelines for HIV treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. We are one of the first countries globally to provide immediate treatment to people living with HIV, regardless of CD4 count, helping reduce morbidity, co-infections, cancer risks, and transmission. At our clinic, we offer a program called "SAME DAY ART", providing antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the day of diagnosis, once the patient is ready and willing to start treatment.
