You and your doctor are a team working together to make the best treatment decisions for you. Ask yourself a few questions: Can I be totally honest with my doctor? Is he or she available when I have questions? Does he or she take my concerns seriously? If so, great!
If not, try to make changes. Write down the questions you’d like to ask your doctor before you go to visits. Answer your doctor’s questions with the truth, not with what you think the doctor wants to hear. If that still doesn’t work, it may be time to find another doctor.
It is also wise to have an HIV specialist for your care. Doctors who devote most of their time to HIV are best equipped to manage this complicated condition.
