Myth: If I have #HIV, it’s better not to know. Fact: People who are diagnosed late die on average 10 years early. As HIV damages your immune system, without treatment it leaves you vulnerable to serious illnesses and diseases. That’s why in the early days most people with HIV died from AIDS – because there was no treatment available. Now we have sophisticated treatment and many people take just one pill a day. Treatment should increase the number of immune cells needed to keep you healthy. It should also reduce the amount of HIV in your body. If you have HIV and don’t know about it you can’t take steps to keep well. #MythbustMonday
