We’re Here to Help

In the early history of the disease, the goal of HIV care was to provide comfort and the best quality of life available for what was considered a terminal illness. Since 1995, however, medication and treatment have drastically changed and improved. Today we use a model of care geared toward chronic disease management through healthy lifestyle choices. Living with HIV is a daily struggle - one that typically touches the lives of friends and family. The stress on patients and their families can be enormous before, during, and after testing positive. An HIV positive patient and family will face considerable social issues and the comprehensive care of the patient entails significant expense. If you are living with HIV, you are not alone. Our team provides comprehensive HIV care that includes medical and emotional support. We are with you every step of the way in your treatment and will help you achieve the highest quality of life possible.
