At Viva Hospital, under the dedicated care of Dr. Tushyanth V, we provide compassionate and comprehensive management for patients living with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). HIV is a viral infection that weakens the immune system by attacking CD4 cells, which are crucial for fighting infections. Without proper treatment, HIV can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a condition where the body becomes highly vulnerable to infections and certain cancers.
HIV is primarily spread through unprotected sexual contact, sharing of needles, transfusion of infected blood, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. One of the challenges with HIV is that symptoms may not appear for years, making early testing and diagnosis vital. Common early signs can include fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and recurrent infections, but many people remain asymptomatic.
At Viva Hospital, we emphasize confidential and non-judgmental care, ensuring patients feel safe and respected. Dr. Tushyanth provides thorough evaluations, including HIV testing, CD4 count monitoring, and viral load assessments, to determine the stage of infection and design an effective treatment plan.
Modern medicine has transformed HIV into a manageable chronic condition. With the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART), patients can suppress the virus, strengthen their immune system, and live long, healthy lives. At Viva Hospital, we create personalized ART regimens, monitor for side effects, and adjust treatment when necessary to achieve the best outcomes.
In addition to medical treatment, we place great importance on counseling, emotional support, and lifestyle guidance. Patients are educated on maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and precautions to prevent transmission to others. For families, we provide awareness and support to reduce stigma and encourage adherence to therapy.
We also screen and manage opportunistic infections like tuberculosis, pneumonia, and fungal infections, which can occur in people with weakened immunity. Regular follow-up visits ensure timely detection of complications and continuous monitoring of treatment effectiveness.
At Viva Hospital, Dr. Tushyanth’s holistic approach ensures that patients with HIV receive not only medical care but also dignity, support, and hope for a healthier future.
