Playing it safe

It’s a pretty safe bet that you won’t come to much harm when you’re watching lorikeets in the garden — except maybe in spring when a hard hat is good protection from killer magpies. But if you’re planing on taking recreational drugs, there are a few issues you need to think about. One issue is whether or not your recreational drugs will affect your HIV drugs. Another is what impact it will have if you take a break from treatments for a big party weekend. Two leaflets from AFAO provide comprehensive information and suggestions on both of these topics:

You may be ready to party but your drugs still have to work; and
Drug Interactions and Dangerous Liaisons.

Copies of these resources can be obtained from AFAO or NAPWA.
