HIV Treatment & PrEP

HIV Treatment Services

• Comprehensive HIV Testing & Diagnosis — 4th generation HIV antigen/antibody testing with rapid results. Early diagnosis is critical for optimal outcomes.
• Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Initiation — Same-day ART initiation when clinically appropriate. Modern regimens are highly effective, well-tolerated, and often just one pill daily.
• Individualized Regimen Selection — Resistance testing, drug-drug interaction screening, comorbidity consideration, and patient preference all factor into regimen selection.
• Viral Load & CD4 Monitoring — Regular monitoring to ensure viral suppression and immune health. Goal: undetectable viral load (<20 copies/mL).
• Long-Acting Injectable ART — Cabenuva (cabotegravir + rilpivirine) administered monthly or every 2 months — eliminate daily pills while maintaining full viral suppression.
• OI Prophylaxis — Opportunistic infection prevention based on CD4 count — PJP prophylaxis, MAC prophylaxis, and CMV surveillance.
