Hi,
It's understandable to feel depressed and overwhelmed, but please know that there are effective HIV treatments available, and with proper care, many people living with HIV can lead long and healthy lives.
As for the side effects of HIV medicines, each medication can have different side effects, and some people may experience no side effects at all. Some common side effects of HIV medications can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, headache, rash, and changes in blood pressure, among others. These side effects can usually be managed with medication adjustments, supportive care, or other interventions.
In terms of affordable treatment centers in Indore, I recommend that you reach out to local HIV organizations or government health departments to inquire about available services. They may be able to connect you with treatment centers or providers that offer HIV medications at reduced costs, as well as financial assistance programs to help cover the cost of care.
It's important to seek medical care and start treatment as soon as possible after an HIV diagnosis, as early treatment can help improve health outcomes and reduce the risk of transmission to others. Don't hesitate to reach out to healthcare professionals and support organizations for help and guidance in navigating this challenging time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
