Saskatchewan! Healthy people. A healthy province.
Many steps can be taken to slow HIV progression, delay the onset of AIDS and maintain a healthy immune system.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle:

  • Avoid or reduce smoking, excessive use of alcohol or recreational drugs;
  • Exercise regularly;
  • Maintain a balanced diet;
  • Get enough rest; and
  • Maintain a strong support network of family and friends.

Your health should be monitored by a doctor on a regular basis. At a certain point, you and your doctor may decide to begin medications, treatments or therapies.

If you notice any change in your health, contact your doctor.

Treatment if You Develop AIDS
