ARV treatment fact sheet 06: Side effects of ARVs - detailed information
| ARV fact sheets 6: Side effects, detailed information (English) 210.0Kb | |
Now that ARV treatment is more widely accessible, it is accepted that people with HIV, their families and communities have an important role to play alongside health workers in ensuring effective and sustained treatment. They should be engaged not only in preparing for ARV treatment but also in supporting the life-time commitment that this involves.
The Alliance has developed a set of fact sheets to support community engagement for antiretroviral (ARV) treatment. The fact sheets provide NGO and CBO staff and volunteers with brief information in non-technical language, to help them to support PLHA and their communities on ARV treatment. They are based on experience with treatment support programmes in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. This six page fact sheet provides brief information on different types of ARV side effects, including which drugs cause each one, what action should be taken and how they can be reduced or prevented.
