What you can do
- ✓Check whether your current HIV treatment regimen is still accessible by contacting your local clinic or health provider to confirm ongoing medication supply availability in your area.
- ✓If you are at risk for HIV infection, ask your healthcare provider about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) availability and eligibility, as prevention programs may have reduced capacity due to funding cuts.
- ✓Establish contact with community-based HIV support organizations in your region that may provide alternative resources or assistance if government health services become disrupted.
- ✓If you are currently on antiretroviral therapy, create a backup supply plan by discussing with your doctor how to maintain at least a 3-month medication stockpile in case of service interruptions.
Always consult a healthcare professional for personal medical advice.
