HIV is a virus that causes immune deficiency of the host. HIV positive implies you are positive for the virus. HIV is different from AIDS which is already an illness. People can be positive for HIV where as there are not AIDS patients. That fundamental difference is capital for you to understand.
Once your HIV sero status is known such as your case, you need to take measures to ensure that, you do not go to AIDS. Such measures include, eating balance diets, being neat, avoid risky habits, avoid alcohol, tobacco etc. as well as being on antiretroviral drugs.
The use of antiretroviral drugs is govern by policies of individual nations.
Some nations systematically put all positive patients on drugs where as some wait until the immune cells (cd4) are low. Antiretrovirals that could work well in case of HIV type 1 include the following combination: zidovudine, lamividine and effavirenz or nevirapine; tenofovir, lamivudine and efavirenz or nevirapine; zidovudine, lamivudine and aluvia etc.

For now there is not cure for HIV. the drugs given are meant to reduce the viral load to undetected levels in the system.

Hi, treatment of hiv depends on cd4 count and viral load. your other correlated health conditions. routinely zidovudin, lamivudin, nebirapin, efavirinz etc. You should go to ART centre and take treatment accordingly. drugs are freely available to your ART centre. Take accordingly.
