HIV/AIDS treatment in Coyoacán

HIV is a virus that affects the immune system; when it deteriorates in an advanced way, this is called AIDS, the most advanced stage of the infection. It is a chronic condition that today can be kept under control with ongoing medical follow-up.

Frequent symptoms: In the early stages, fever, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue or flu-like discomfort may appear; many people remain without symptoms for long periods.

When to seek care? It's advisable to get evaluated after a possible exposure or with persistent symptoms, and to keep periodic checkups if you already have the diagnosis.

Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist leads the management, with support from the internist, the general practitioner and, depending on the complications, the nephrologist or the diabetologist. If you have doubts about your risk, the most sensible thing is to discuss it with a trusted professional who guides your case.
