HIV

Follow along on our year-long guide to HIV, which thanks to innovative research and treatment advances has evolved from a death sentence to a treatable chronic condition. Each monthly installment of the Medical Journey will delve into another aspect of the disease, including risk factors and prevention; screening; early signs and symptoms; the intricacies of treatment; the importance of viral load; options for PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis; promising research; coping strategies for living with HIV; comorbid conditions; HIV in certain groups, such as pregnant women and children; and lessons learned from unique case studies -- all of which have undergone expert review.
