If you've been diagnosed with HIV, the most important step you can take is to start HIV treatment as soon as possible. Modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) is highly effective — most people achieve an undetectable viral load within 6 months of starting treatment. The earlier you begin, the better your long-term health outcomes will be.
We understand that receiving an HIV diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Many people feel scared, confused, or uncertain about what comes next. But here's the good news: HIV treatment has transformed dramatically. With the right medication, you can live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life — just like anyone else.
Delaying HIV treatment allows the virus to damage your immune system, lowering your CD4 count and increasing your risk of opportunistic infections. The truth is, starting treatment immediately protects your health and gives you the best chance of reaching an undetectable viral load quickly. When undetectable, you cannot transmit HIV to others — this is the power of U=U.
Once you start treatment, staying on it consistently is key. Our doctors are here to support you every step of the way — from choosing the right ART regimen to managing any side effects and monitoring your progress. You don't have to face this journey alone.
