More sophisticated testing is available to patients concerned about recent exposure, since immediate treatment may be able prevent infection following unprotected sex or needlestick injury. Counseling is available on "safer sex" and other practices that minimize the risk of infection to patients or their partners.

Evaluation and treatment of HIV: Long-term success in HIV treatment depends on effective suppression of HIV virus replication. Patients are aggressively treated with a combination of anti-HIV drugs known to maintain the most favorable outcomes. Viral loads, immune and general health status are constantly monitored and medications adjusted accordingly. We keep vigilant for possible emergence of drug resistance and promptly adjust medications to reverse the unfavorable trend.

Side effects and opportunistic infections: Depression, nausea, anemia, and other ailments may arise during the course and treatment of HIV infection. While some side effects of medications do happen, we find that they frequently can be reduced or eliminated by careful choice of medications, adjusting medication dose or other treatments. We take the time necessary to provide the treatment regimen that fits the individual needs of each patient.
