Understanding HIV

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, weakening its ability to fight infections and diseases. With timely diagnosis, regular care, and proper treatment, people living with HIV can lead long, healthy, and fulfilling lives. At Subhadra Hospital, we provide confidential, compassionate, and comprehensive HIV care with a focus on both medical management and emotional well-being.

HIV is mainly transmitted through:

  • Unprotected sexual contact

  • Sharing of needles or syringes

  • Transmission from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding

  • Blood transfusions with infected blood (rare due to strict screening)

  • Confidential HIV testing and diagnosis

  • Antiretroviral therapy (ART) to control the virus and boost immunity

  • Counseling and psychosocial support for patients and families

  • Nutritional guidance to strengthen the body’s defense system
