TREATMENT

Linkage to Care

There are several organizations that can offer treatment and help if you’ve tested positive for HIV or AIDS. There is no cure for HIV and AIDS, which means there is no conclusive treatment to eliminate HIV from the body. If you are told that you are HIV positive, it is important to seek treatment immediately. You need to work with a doctor to get medical treatment and decide what course of action to take in treating HIV. It can be scary and confusing begin told that you are HIV positive, but medications can help you live a normal life and keep you healthy. Some people who are HIV positive only have to take one medication once a day.

Many organizations in North Carolina offer services such as housing, faith and counseling services, food and nutrition and health education.
