HIV Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis of HIV

At WellCare Medical Clinic, we offer HIV testing to determine whether you are infected with the virus. The test involves taking a sample of your blood or saliva, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results are usually available within a few days. We offer both rapid and standard HIV tests, and we can provide counseling and support before and after the test.

It is important to note that HIV can take some time to show up in tests. This is known as the "window period." During this time, you may test negative even if you are infected with HIV. If you have been at risk of HIV exposure, we recommend getting tested again after a few weeks to ensure accuracy.

HIV Treatment

At WellCare Medical Clinic, we provide comprehensive HIV treatment services. We offer antiretroviral therapy (ART), a combination of medications that help to reduce the amount of HIV in your body. ART can help to prolong your life and reduce your risk of developing AIDS-related illnesses.

We work with our patients to develop personalized treatment plans that take into account their unique medical history, lifestyle, and preferences. Our team of healthcare professionals will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure that you are getting the best possible care.

Living with HIV

At WellCare Medical Clinic, we understand that living with HIV can be challenging. We offer counseling and support services to help you manage the emotional and psychological aspects of living with HIV. Our team can connect you with support groups and other resources in the community that can provide additional support.

Preventing HIV

Prevention is key when it comes to HIV. We offer education and counseling services to help our patients reduce their risk of HIV transmission. We can provide information about safe sex practices, including the use of condoms, and offer advice on how to reduce your risk of contracting HIV through intravenous drug use.
