HIV/AIDS
A Journey That Begins with Awareness
A sudden fever, night sweats, or unexplained fatigue — for some, these signs are brushed off as just another infection. But for others, they mark the start of something deeper — the journey of living with HIV. At SSRC Health, we believe every journey deserves compassion, understanding, and world-class medical care. Our experts are dedicated to helping patients manage HIV confidently, ensuring a healthy and fulfilling life through early diagnosis, advanced treatment, and ongoing support.
What Is HIV/AIDS?
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks the body’s immune system — specifically CD4 cells, which help fight infections. If left untreated, HIV can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), the most advanced stage of infection, where the immune system becomes too weak to defend against disease.
With early detection and modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) available at SSRC Health, people with HIV can live long, active, and healthy lives.
How HIV Spreads
HIV is transmitted through:
- Unprotected sexual contact
- Sharing contaminated needles or syringes
- Mother-to-child transmission (during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding)
- Transfusions using unscreened blood
It’s important to note that HIV does not spread through hugging, shaking hands, sharing food, or casual contact.
Symptoms & When to Seek Care
Early Symptoms:
- Fever and fatigue
