HIV treatment: Sorry you have become infected, but congratulations on your intent to be treated. Injectable antiretroviral treatment (ART) is relatively new and many of the important research studies have been done in South Africa, so you probably can find a way to access it. Your first step is to find a doctor or clinic with lots of experience treating patients with HIV, then follow their advice. Good luck!
