What if I think I have ADC?

Don’t be afraid to tell your doctor or any other providers that you suspect something is wrong. If you don’t have a doctor or need help finding one, contact local AIDS organizations for help in getting one. They can also help you find a doctor for a second opinion if you need one.

Keep a small notepad with you and write down your symptoms whenever they occur. This information will greatly help your doctor to help you.

Build as much support as possible, including friends, family and professionals. Although it’s possible to treat ADC successfully, it may take awhile for some symptoms to go away.
