Where can i find a health care provider to take treatment suggestions about disease like HIV.?


A 29 years old lady having HIV + with the CD4 count as 390 ,she known about that she is HIV+ person at April 2005, from that day onwards she had so much depression, now she looks like hale and healthy body from the outside , but mentally she is suffering with depression, and negative attitude. she has two childrens of age 12 years, and 9 years, they are not HIV+ persons. She foloows good diet habits, and she is using some antiviral medicine. She had T.B. , STD , and sivere body pains at the starting symonths back. now she has only that STD diseases. TER-3 tablets used for T.B. more than 9 months. Can any one please help me in this issue, where can i find some useful madicine to save her from this desease or atleast to increase her life span.
I would be greatful to the person who helps me in this issue.

This person needs to actively seek medical attention by an "infectious disease" doctor that specializes in HIV/AIDS. It would be helpful to know what state this person lives in...then I would be able to research and post possible doctors she could go see. If this person is as depressed as you say she is, then I think she also needs to seek the help of a mental health specialist that is trained to help and counsel people with HIV/AIDS. When in doubt, you can always turn to the person's county department of health or local hospital. You could also contact the Center for AIDS Research at 205-934-AIDS (2437). Someone there could definately help get you to the right people.

firstly you are already helping her by being her friend. you can expand on this by making some phone calls on her behalf for recommended HIV services. as depression and anxiety are all side effects of this diagnosis such places should be able to provide services to address all her issues. However, re the depression etc their is no magic cure and your friend will have to do her bit as well and that is to work through her feelings etc. It has not been overly long since her diagnosis and it is natural for her to be feeling like this. I think it is great that you want to help her so have no doubt that you will make the necessary contacts needed. If she wants there should be no reason why you cant be with her for her check ups etc until she feels strong enough to go alone. also dont forget the kids there must be supports there somewhere for her children as they watch their mum deal with this disease. also take care of yourself as well and allow for time out when the going gets tuff.

at this point in medicine, there is absolutely no cure for aids. go to your regular Dr. and talk to them if they can't help ask for a referral. aids can certainly take a toll on a person physically and emotionally. sometimes meds have terrible side effects but don't stop taking them before talking to your Dr. these meds can help prolong life and new meds can be added to help with the side effects of the other meds, ever heard of poly-pharmacy and that is what an aids patients have to deal with. multiple meds and others added to counteract the side effects of those meds.

sms to 7827 and type"HIV"
