69. Can a person who is on methadone maintenance take HIV medicines?

Yes. However, some HIV medicines interact with methadone and may require a change in the dosage of methadone or the HIV medicine. People with HIV should tell their doctors about all the medicines they take, including methadone, so that their doctors can prescribe medicines that will work best. People on methadone should tell their methadone clinic about any HIV medicines they take so that they can get the dose of methadone they need.
