Manage the Side Effects of HIV Treatment

Quick Tips
First, find out if you have anemia. If you are short of breath or tired and the tiredness doesn't go away after getting rest, ask your doctor whether you should get tested for anemia.

If you find out you have anemia, your doctor will prescribe a treatment according to the cause of the anemia. Some of these treatments may include:


  • changing medications
  • taking iron, folate, or vitamin B12
  • changing your diet

Diarrhea
Diarrhea is common in people with HIV, and it can be caused by a variety of things including some anti-HIV medicines. Talk to your health-care provider if diarrhea goes on for a long time, if it is bloody, if it is accompanied by fever, or if it worries you.

When you have diarrhea, always be sure to replace the fluids you have lost by drinking ginger ale, broth, herbal tea, or water.

You can also ask your doctor about taking medicines to help with your diarrhea.
