Out of Care
Wait a minute! Don’t go. If you are HIV positive, and have not accessed a medical provider or HIV related laboratory screenings, I urge you to just get through this paragraph. Your health should be a non-negotiable, and access to care is available to you, particularly if you haven’t engaged in some time. Please don’t let another day pass, and you not get in touch with a care provider.
We understand that sometimes you feel just fine. You have no symptoms and life as you know it, is flowing without a ripple. But keep in mind, that HIV doesn’t always manifest itself in outward or noticeable events. Because of this, it is critical to access periodic screenings, and have a physical assessment conducted. Remember your immune system can be affected by other opportunistic infections, that may begin as seemingly nothing, but evolve into a severe complications such as Cryptococcal Meningitis, Toxoplasmosis, PCP, a type of Pneumonia and even certain cancers.
Don’t allow yourself to remain without updated screenings or outside of a care system. Contact a provider today.
