HIV Treatment and Care

HIV remains a significant public health concern across Uganda, and consistent, well-managed care allows patients to live long, healthy lives with the virus under control. Stigma and inconsistent treatment access remain real barriers for many patients. UMC Victoria Hospital offers advanced HIV treatment in Kampala, Uganda, which focuses on confidential and consistent medical care:

• Confidential testing and diagnosis
  private, judgment-free testing and counselling
• Antiretroviral therapy (ART)
  medication management to suppress viral load and protect immunity
• Routine monitoring
  regular viral load and CD4 count checks to track treatment response
• Opportunistic infection management
  prevention and treatment of infections linked to weakened immunity
• Counselling and support
  ongoing guidance to support adherence and mental wellbeing

With consistent antiretroviral treatment, most patients living with HIV can maintain an undetectable viral load and continue normal daily life without progression to advanced disease.
