&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)&amp;nbsp;has been around for at least 40 years, as far as mankind knows. We also know that to date, there is still no effective cure for HIV, and if left untreated, may lead to&amp;nbsp;acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)&amp;nbsp;and ultimately,&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;death&amp;nbsp;that would be earlier than anyone would have liked. But hey, that is&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;the past. Now, with proper care and treatment to control&amp;nbsp;and slow down&amp;nbsp;HIV&amp;nbsp;progression, people living with the virus can also lead long, healthy lives just like any other uninfected person.&amp;nbsp;Know what&amp;nbsp;the best thing is? You can still have&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;normal sexual life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV is Like Any Other Chronic Diseases&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;People living with HIV will have to be on lifelong &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/hiv-treatment&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;antiretroviral therapy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and it is definitely not fun to have to take a cocktail of medications every day, especially if one also has hypertension, diabetes,&amp;nbsp;hyperlipidemia, etc. That, my friend, is a tonne of medication to take. For anyone on lifelong daily medication, adherence to and compliance to treatment can become an issue. I mean, who likes to visit the doctor every month just to get medication? Knowing that you already have this condition is already depressing enough, having to take pills on a daily basis is another burden. What&#39;s more, HIV remains a stigma in this society.&amp;nbsp;All these can trigger &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/anxiety&quot;&gt;a&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;nxiety&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and these are&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;often reasons why patients tend to miss their dose,&amp;nbsp;which may lead to serious health consequences&amp;nbsp;for themselves and their loved ones,&amp;nbsp;aside from&amp;nbsp;affecting interpersonal relationships.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prescription Refill for HIV Medication&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;In order to improve patients&amp;rsquo; adherence to taking their medication on time, which is especially important for patients with HIV, the prescription refill experience plays a very critical role. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;At PULSE, &lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;our patients can request a prescription refill&amp;nbsp;for HIV medication&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;up to&amp;nbsp;3 to 6 months&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, but of course, this is provided that the condition has been proven to be under control through routine testing, a part of HIV patient management.&amp;nbsp;Studies have shown that allowing a larger quantity of medication to be prescribed and reducing a patient&amp;rsquo;s frequency of visits to the doctor can largely reduce anxiety and increase medication adherence.&amp;nbsp;Adherence is even higher when patients choose&amp;nbsp;to receive their medications by mail ordering or delivery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PULSE also provides these services to help patients in this aspect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Follow Up&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Of course, HIV management is not just about taking medications and having regular blood tests done.
