Understanding HIV and AIDS
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system, specifically targeting CD4 cells, which play a vital role in fighting infections. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is the final stage of HIV infection, characterized by a severely weakened immune system. Our team is well-versed in the latest advancements and research surrounding HIV and AIDS, enabling us to provide you with up-to-date information and treatment options.

Early detection is crucial in managing HIV and AIDS effectively. We provide confidential and accurate HIV testing to ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment initiation.
Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a combination of medications that help suppress the HIV virus, reduce viral load, and prevent disease progression. Our experienced healthcare professionals will work closely with you to determine the most suitable ART regimen based on your specific needs.

Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential in assessing treatment effectiveness and managing potential side effects. We provide comprehensive monitoring services, including regular blood tests, viral load measurements, and CD4 cell counts.

Preventing the transmission of HIV is crucial for both individuals living with the virus and those at risk. Our team offers education and counseling on safe sex practices, needle exchange programs, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to minimize the risk of acquiring HIV.
