First HIV care visit: what to expect and how to prepare

@Brentwilliams Hello Brentwilliams, thank you for opening this discussion. I think this is a really important question to ask before going into your first appointment.

I hope you all don't mind, but I'm tagging some members who may be able to help you out:

What should Brentwilliams expect? Are there any important questions to ask the doctor? Do you have any advice?

Take care,

It is just like a normal visit but they will do labs, asks question and do not be shy. Be honest and truthful. Relax and be prepared to be there for a while because they have to figure out your medications and stick to them...

 in my case i stay in hospital for 3 months.They release me beginning of February 2020.a lot of blood test.i hope yours will be quick.
