Welcome to the HIV Centre
The infection rate of HIV is extremely high in our communities, and many
have lost loved ones to this disease. Voluntary counselling sessions are
done by our trained adherence counsellor, and patient confidentiality is
kept in high regard at all times. An adequate diet, consisting of
vegetables, proteins and carbohydrates, providing essential nutrients,
vitamins and minerals, are absolutely essential to the recovery and
well- being of our patients.
Patient and partner education regarding the transmission of HIV in our communities is of great importance, and our counselling sessions aim to educate our patients in this regard.
An aggressive approach is kept in the
diagnosing and treating of Tb in our patients, as we have experienced
extensive morbidity and mortality due to the co-infection of Tb and HIV.
Our
partners in treating this disease are: Toga labs, Aurum health, Faranani
Health Solutions, SACBC and CRS, and the different medical aid HIV
management Programs, including AFA, Lifesense, and others. Our medical
officer is qualified in the diploma in HIV management, and our approach
to treating the disease adheres to national government guidelines.
