When to see a doctor about AIDS
Anyone who has unprotected sex with a new, untested partner (either anal, vaginal or maybe even oral), should get a blood test from their doctor to determine if they have been infected with HIV.
Always practice safe sex. Always use a condom with new partners.
Anyone who steps on a needle or has otherwise been pricked by a needle (health care workers are often the most at risk) should see their doctor for a blood test to determine if they have been infected with HIV.
The information on the alternative-complementary treatment of AIDS should be viewed in conjunction with consultation of your treating doctor, to ensure that these strategies do not interfere, with your treatment plan, but actually enhance it. Only your doctor can advise you if any of the alternative treatments are suitable for you.
