Stories of Change

Medicines without adherence brings no changes in human body

Ms Janam Bibi is registered PLHIV with CHBC Peshawar. As follow up, during telephonic conversation with Ms Janam Bibi regarding her health and HIV related medication, she mentioned that she is not using/taking ARV’s since long because of multiple reasons. We convinced her and also shared the importance of ARV’s but she refused. We offered her CHBC visit which she accepted as she didn’t allow us for home visit. She visited to CHBC and discussed her problems in details with counselor especially regarding ARVs. She shared that she had to appear for her nursing exams soon therefore she is not using ARVs which made her lazy and drowsy and she couldn’t perform well at her job as well. After brief discussion with her regarding ARVs and other health issue she agreed to visit Dr Yaseen for medical checkup. She directly gone to Leady Reading Hospital from CHBC and met Dr Yaseen for medical checkup. Dr Yaseen advised her CD4 test and then she will be recommended either she would take ARVs or not. CHBC team will further do follow up in coming days.
