What has your doctor advised?

Ilvitrim contains the active ingredients Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, it is an antibiotic that is used to treat or prevent infections, which can be very dangerous to someone that is HIV positive.

In many countries, it is sold under the brand name Bactrim, so you can learn more about it here:

However, only your doctor is going to be able to let you know how long you need to take it.
