ART + POSITIVE LIVING BUT NO CIGARETTES OR BOOZE

Those on ART need also to follow Positive Living to maintain the immune system strongly and keep the body systems healthy.

These people must limit their boozing and smoking as these will undo the benefits of ART. Their health will drop. Those who die will often be those who smoke and booze along with ART.
