\r\n\t\t\tHIV Treatment & Care\t<\/h1>\r\n\t

Des traitements inclusifs, attentifs et englobants font du VIH une maladie chronique g\u00e9rable.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEn savoir plus\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n

\r\n\t\t\tComment traite-t-on le VIH?\t<\/h2>\r\n\t

L\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des soins ad\u00e9quats, holistiques et centr\u00e9s sur la personne ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 du soutien est un \u00e9l\u00e9ment crucial \u00e0 ce succ\u00e8s.<\/p>\r\n\t

Antiretroviral drugs (also referred to as “HIV medications”) work to stop the HIV virus from replicating, allowing the immune system to retain (or rebuild) its strength and keep people healthy. Research shows that HIV medication, when taken as prescribed, works well for women and gender-diverse people. The recommendations for HIV treatment are the same for people of all genders.<\/p>\r\n

Il est d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que le traitement du VIH au moyen d\u2019antir\u00e9troviraux sauve des vies et garde les personnes en sant\u00e9. Les m\u00e9dicaments ne sont qu\u2019un aspect du processus. Des soins holistiques, des liens \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9, la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, l\u2019autonomie \u00e9conomique et le bien-\u00eatre g\u00e9n\u00e9ral sont importants eux aussi pour la r\u00e9ussite du traitement du VIH. Lorsque tous ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments sont en place, les femmes et les personnes de genres divers vivant avec le VIH peuvent avoir la m\u00eame esp\u00e9rance de vie que les femmes et les personnes de genres divers s\u00e9ron\u00e9gatives.<\/p>\r\n

Pour les femmes et les personnes de genres divers enceintes, il est important de travailler avec votre sp\u00e9cialiste de la sant\u00e9 pour d\u00e9terminer quel m\u00e9dicament antir\u00e9troviral vous conviendra le mieux.<\/p>\r\n

Les avanc\u00e9es des traitements ont rendu les m\u00e9dicaments VIH beaucoup plus faciles \u00e0 prendre. Entre autres nouveaut\u00e9s : le Cabenuva<\/a>, un traitement injectable que l\u2019on prend une fois par mois ou tous les deux mois.<\/p>\r\n

Certains m\u00e9dicaments contre le VIH peuvent provoquer des effets secondaires. Certains des m\u00e9dicaments plus anciens contre le VIH, qui ne sont plus tr\u00e8s utilis\u00e9s de nos jours, peuvent avoir des interactions avec le traitement hormonal chez les femmes trans ou d\u2019autres personnes qui prennent une th\u00e9rapie de substitution hormonale.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t\t\tChoisir d\u2019amorcer un traitement\t<\/h2>\r\n\t

Afin que le traitement du VIH soit une r\u00e9ussite, il est pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable de prendre ses m\u00e9dicaments chaque jour vers la m\u00eame heure. Pour certaines femmes et les personnes de genres divers, il s\u2019agit d\u2019un grand engagement. Mais de plus en plus de donn\u00e9es s\u2019accumulent, qui d\u00e9montrent les bienfaits de sant\u00e9 d\u00e9coulant d\u2019une amorce imm\u00e9diate du traitement.<\/p>\r\n

Balancing treatment with other responsibilities can be difficult, and particularly so for women and gender-diverse people who are facing a range of social and structural determinants of health. These may include the impact of racism, living in poverty, taking care of family, dealing with mental health struggles, immigration or other forms or criminalization, homelessness, dealing with violence, and\/or using substances can all impact someone’s decisions around HIV treatment. Similarly, women and gender-diverse people who may be hiding their HIV status due to stigma, discrimination or fear of violence may face difficulties in taking medication regularly.<\/p>\r\n

While starting treatment as soon as possible is always recommended, it is important to have social and community supports as well. It is also important that treatment be offered within the context of one’s life and identity. This may include trauma-informed care, culturally inclusive care, and gender-aware care. Treatment is more effective when it is offered through a thoughtful and wholistic lens with health and social supports integrated together.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\"text-card-info-icon-white\"\r\n\t

“A wrap-around care model that is offered by agencies, it does not stigmatize survivors to seek the support they need, as it is all offered under one roof”<\/p><\/blockquote>\r\n– Community Partner from Ottawa\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\"Close-up\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n

“A lot of women struggle financially; they do not have enough money to care for their families and also send to their home countries. Community and emotional wellness is crucial, they are separated from their loved ones due to immigration issues. The process is long, being away from family in a new country is challenging for women.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\r\n– Community Partner from Toronto\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\"Close-up\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n
