Frequently asked question: Why can it be so difficult to always take HIV inhibitors?

Taking HIV medication is no small feat. Anyone who has been taking it for a long time knows how difficult it is sometimes. You constantly have to think about your pills because you have to take them exactly on time. You have to take them with you if you go out, store them in the correct way and remember to ask your doctor in time for a new prescription. And you have to do all this your whole life. Some children find taking medication annoying, because they do not feel unwell at all, or because they just get fed up of the medication. If you are having difficulties, it can be good to talk to someone about it. Together with your pediatrician or HIV consultant, you can then look for possible solutions or tricks to make it easier for you. Because it is very important to continue taking your medication!
