HIV testing without treatment? (18)
-----------------------------------
HIV test surely is important. Test and counselling can help people
infected with HIV to prevent spreading the virus to healthy people.
And people at high risk because of their lifestyle, finding their
HIV status is negative, can change their lifestyle.
How is it when treatment is not available? Antiretroviral is not
the only medicine. People who are infected with HIV can prolong their
life with healthy lifestyle, physically, psychologically and spiritu-
ally with nutritious food, physical exercise, positive thinking and
meditation/religion. That gives the body a chance to heal itself, at
least it can function as do the antiretrovirals.
