What if you still have questions?
You will want to talk about your options with your doctor or other health care provider. It is important to get all of the information you need to make you feel comfortable with your decisions about medical treatment.
Talking to a family member, a friend or a support group might also help in making a decision about treatment. They can help you think of questions to ask your doctor.
Also, reference specialists at the HIV/AIDS Treatment Information Service may be able to answer some of your questions. You can call Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern time at 1-800-448-0440.
