What if I forget to take my pills?

Almost everyone will forget or be late at some time – and this will be fine.

But there is a difference between an occasional missed dose and regularly forgetting on a daily or weekly basis.

If your adherence is not good, you need more support. It is available but you will need to ask.
If you regularly take your HIV drugs late or miss doses completely, talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist about other options.

There may be an easier combination.
You need a regimen that you can follow everyday. This includes both during the weekend and in the different situations involved in life.

There are always things that can help improve adherence, whatever your lifestyle.
