adminBeware of ARV, TB drugs side effects
WHEN a patient is commenced on ARVs one expects to get better. What happens when one’s immune system is compromised is that all infectious diseases find a fertile playground in his/her body.The HIV virus destroys one’s ability to fight off infections hence the term “the immune system is now compromised”.
It is therefore easy for one to get recurrent colds, skins rashes, TB, herpes, pneumonia, among a host of other illnesses.
Before the immune system was compromised one had the potential to stave off a cold even without taking medication, but with HIV playing havoc on the system, a simple cold cannot be treated by cough syrups, and often requires antibiotics.
