Sort of: Your friend needs to stick with his treatment. If you had intimate relations with your friend, it is imperative that you get tested as soon as possible.

Advanced AIDS: Unfortunately if your friend has a CD4 count of 10, that means there's significant damage to his immune system. Those medications are the only way to recover from this -yet there could be side effects depending on what medications he's actually on. Good to check back with the doctor. In Manila you can find help at San Lazaro hospital - I know some of the docs there if you need a contact. God bless
