Can I still take my ARVs if I have been drinking alcohol?

YES! You must take your ARVs everyday even if you have been drinking alcohol. If you miss taking your ARVs the HIV can get out of control.

However we do advise people not to drink alcohol when they are taking ARVs because if they get drunk they will forget to take their ARVs.
