Ways to Make a Change
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic condition caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV was first recognized as an infectious disease in 1981. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1.2 million people are living with HIV infection in the United States today.
HIV weakens the immune system by destroying infection-fighting white blood cells. Over time, as the virus multiplies and spreads throughout the body, it can destroy enough cells that the body is not able to fight infections and diseases. When this occurs, HIV infection progresses to AIDS.
It can take years before HIV weakens the immune system to the point that a person develops AIDS. Providers diagnose HIV infection and develop a treatment plan to prevent AIDS and other infections related to a suppressed immune system. Offering the newest prevention and treatment options, our specialists help people with HIV infection to enjoy a better quality of life.
