[QUOTE="Taliesin, post: 1599320, member: 233051"] [FONT=Arial]I'd had a "structured treatment break", as they were known before we discovered that they are a very bad idea, from my HIV medication. My husband had died earlier that year and I felt I'd be better off not taking drugs at all than I would be with spotty adherence, which might lead to drug resistance. I'd been to the HIV clinic and had agreed to restart treatment and got home to a frantic phone call from the nurse specialist at the HIV clinic: "get to your GP as a matter of urgency - you've got diabetes". That particular clinic was closed some years ago, an for once I was pleased about a resource for people with HIV being closed as they were utterly incompetent. It was the same clinic that ignored the results of my blood tests and kept me on a drug that was killing me and came within days of doing so. The consultant has retired but it does worry me that that nurse could well still be working.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
