A member asked:
I've been diagnosed with hiv ocd by a psychiatrist and she said this condition cannot be cured completely, treatment can bring it under control. is it true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
True, OCD rarely if ever is curable, but usually it can be effectively managed with counseling, sometimes with medication as well. People with OCD often find themselves more focused on one or a few health issues. In your case, it's HIV -- but it's otherwise not a special kind of OCD. Discuss further with your psychiatrist. Good luck.
