The whole question
Dear Simon
The clinic that I used to get my HIV medicine from has closed. What risks do I face from stopping my ART?
The long answer
The risk from being off ART while the clinic is closed depends on two things.
How long you are off ART. A shorter time is better.
Your individual HIV history. The risk will be higher if HIV ever made you seriously ill.
It will also be higher if you ever had a low CD4 count. Not everyone will have a CD4 count now, but this used to be very commonly used.
