HIV management and follow-up care is recommended for:
- A confirmed HIV-positive diagnosis

What is HIV/AIDS Management?
HIV management involves confidential, long-term care centered on antiretroviral therapy, which suppresses the virus, protects immune function and allows people living with HIV to lead full, healthy lives.
Confidential Care
Every aspect of HIV care is handled with strict confidentiality and respect.
Antiretroviral Therapy Is Highly Effective
Modern ART can suppress the virus to undetectable levels in most patients.
Regular Monitoring Protects Health
Periodic testing tracks immune function and treatment effectiveness.
A Long-Term Care Partnership
Ongoing, supportive care helps patients maintain treatment and overall wellbeing.
Common Symptoms
- May be asymptomatic for years with treatment
- Recurrent infections without treatment
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent fatigue
- Swollen lymph nodes

A combination of exposure, immune status and underlying health conditions can increase the likelihood of this infection.
How It Is Diagnosed
A structured assessment confirms the diagnosis and helps guide the right treatment plan.
HIV Screening Test
Confirms HIV status through antibody or antigen testing.
CD4 Count
Measures immune function and guides treatment monitoring.
Viral Load Testing
Tracks how well antiretroviral therapy is suppressing the virus.
Opportunistic Infection Screening
Checks for infections that can occur with reduced immune function.
Treatment Approaches
Medical Management
