We all know why it's important to take your HIV medications every day. It keeps the virus in check, keeps you healthy and decreases your chances of becoming resistant to the meds.But for most people, taking HIV medications every day as prescribed isn't the easiest thing to do.And anyone who says otherwise is lying. The reality is that everyday life brings with it obstacles that can block the way between you and your meds.
SOME IMPORTANT REASONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:---
1.FORGETTNESS;How many times have you looked up and exclaimed, "Darn, I forgot to take my meds!" This happens more often than people admit. But remembering to take your meds is the key to compliance.The key to remembering is tailoring your meds to your schedule.
2.FINANCE: Many time your cash doesnot allow to purchase it in time as job may be lost or other emergency condition even in USA/UK Insurance doesnot support it fully but IN INDIA/AFRICA PROVIDED BY ART CENTRES ALL OVER COUNTRY IF POOR CANOT AFFORD privately register with THese ART centres and donot forget to get new pack of Medicine in time submitting old used pack.
3.Side effects of Medicine:These are some time alarming bt donot stop medicines but talking to physician will help out to move to new medicines or alleviate complications by adding some medicines ,nausea,vomiting,diarrhoes,skin rashes,dementia, jandice, lipidostrophy,anaemia,bone marrow depression,infections,kidney and liver failure are some importnat side effects
4.NO FIXED RESIDENCE/MIGRATION ;As Hiv persons are mostly poor and walk from one place to other for their living and earning so they forget to purchase medicines bt in India /Africa ART centres provide sch facilities if with ART book you may go any where and ask for medicines prior permission from place of living to going is more important too and should be done to check misuse of medicines.
5.FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY:Poor HIV / Aids patient has to run family ,many house hold works and social responsibility so he decides to off the medicine bt it is dangerous please adjust your need and donot stop it and if free from ART CENTRE THEN NEVER MISS IT.
6.DEPRESSION & MENTAL AGOINY; Mental health issues are not uncommon for people living with HIV. Stigma, isolation and rejection can lead to depression and if that depression goes untreated, it can deeply impact your ability to adhere to your medications. Even worse: Depression in the HIV community is massively underdiagnosed.

HIV care providers need to step up and screen better for mental health issues. But that doesn't mean that you can't open up and talk to your provider about how you are feeling emotionally, especially if those feelings are a factor in why you are not taking your medicine.
