The best way to protect your health, if you’re HIV positive, is to get proper care. In most cases, it helps to have a specialist who knows the complicated issues involved in treating HIV. When deciding on care providers, be sure to ask how many patients with HIV they have treated, and how many they currently see. Make an effort to work with your doctor as a team. Research shows that folks who take charge of their health stay in care and stay healthy longer.
