HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a retrovirus that directly targets the immune system and can lead to AIDS if left untreated. Today, thanks to antiretroviral therapies, individuals living with HIV can lead long and healthy lives.
Early diagnosis of HIV infection is critically important for treatment success. Antiretroviral therapy initiated early can reduce viral load to undetectable levels and preserve the immune system. This both improves the patient's quality of life and significantly reduces the risk of transmission.
Regular follow-up, medication adherence, and management of potential side effects are of great importance during the treatment process. Personalized treatment plans are created to maintain our patients' quality of life at the highest level.
