Are you thinking of switching to a single-tablet regimen for HIV?

Single-tablet regimens simplify the medications you take to control HIV, by allowing you to take just 1 pill, once a day to suppress the virus in your body.

Taking charge of your health includes having medical professionals that you trust, and who are experienced in HIV. Having an HIV Pharmacist as part of your team is really important.

You probably see your Pharmacist more often than your doctor, so having a good relationship with them can help you navigate the day-to-day health issues you’re dealing with.
