ARVs can have severe side effects, just like many other medicines. If, however, you go to your health-care worker when you experience these side-effects, they can be taken care of quickly. Unfortunately, many HIV denialists say that ARVs are too toxic to be used.

This episode details the importance of ARVs and gives a clear understanding of the issue of ARV side effects, and how ARVs can be used safely to treat people with HIV and save lives.
