HIV
and AIDS services
The
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) causes Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome (AIDS). About half of the people with HIV develop AIDS
within 10 years of being infected. Even though HIV is a serious
infection, people with HIV and AIDS are now living longer, healthier
lives thanks to improved medical care and other services.
Living
with HIV can be a challenge
Receiving word that you have HIV infection can bring some
unsettling moments. There will be questions that need answers.
That’s why we are here.
If
you are living with HIV or AIDS, you may need several kinds
of support — medical, emotional and financial.
Meeting
your needs is our top priority
The DeKalb County Board of Health’s Ryan White Early
Care Clinic is staffed to help meet your needs. The team
of experts – physician, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist,
dental hygienist, social workers and counselors – work
together to provide quality services to persons with HIV.
