From the latest medical advice to practical tips for dealing with HIV-related problems -- the most up-to-date and complete guide to managing life with HIV. Having HIV does not mean your life is over. Far from it! We wrote this book to help people with HIV explore healthy ways to live the best life possible. With proper diagnosis and treatment, HIV has become a chronic condition similar to diabetes or heart disease. This is a big step forward and we all celebrate this advance, but having HIV can complicate your life. This book will help you get answers to some of your most important questions, including. Who do I tell I have HIV? Which other diseases might I get because I have HIV? What are the possible side effects of the HIV medications. How do I fit the demands of my medications into my life? How will having HIV affect me as I get older? Is it safe for me to exercise at the same level as someone without HIV? What about sex? Can I have children? If I get pregnant, will my baby get HIV? What kind of plans do I need to make for my future? The book combines the latest medical advice, ideas from people living with HIV, and proven practices for self-management based on research conducted at Stanford University School of Medicine. It is completely redesigned and updated to include current care guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The practical, easy-to-understand content will help patients, friends, family members, and others who support anyone dealing with HIV. You will find tips, ideas, and resources about how to become an HIV self-manager. It is designed to help you learn the essential information and skills to manage your condition on a daily basis. This book will help you achieve the things you want and get pleasure from your life.
