HIV Treatment & Prevention

Living with HIV can be a challenging journey, but you don’t have to walk it alone. At Via Care, we offer a compassionate and comprehensive approach to HIV prevention and care. This chronic condition affects the body’s immune system and can lead to AIDS if left untreated. Through education, testing, treatment and support groups, we provide the resources and guidance you need to navigate your journey with confidence and strength.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends regular HIV testing for all adults that are sexually active or share needles, as these groups are at a higher risk for contracting HIV. All individuals aged 13-64 regardless of their status should be tested at least once. The sooner you find out your HIV status, the sooner you can begin treatment and live a long and healthy life.

PrEP

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a pill taken daily by anyone who is HIV-negative, but at high risk for getting HIV. PrEP has been shown to reduce the risk of getting HIV by up to 99% when taken consistently.
