What is HIV Treatment?

HIV treatment is a comprehensive care approach aimed at managing the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. The goal of treatment is to reduce the viral load in the body, preventing the progression of HIV to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). At Bombay Hospital, we offer state-of-the-art treatment options, including antiretroviral therapy (ART), for patients living with HIV. Our AIDS specialist in Mumbai is highly trained to provide personalized care and ensure the best possible outcomes for each patient.

At Bombay Hospital, we are equipped with the latest medical technology to treat HIV. Our infectious disease doctors in Mumbai use advanced diagnostic tools to monitor HIV progression and provide optimal care. These include:

  • Viral Load Testing: Measures the amount of HIV in the blood to assess the effectiveness of treatment.
