AIDS Awareness Day : HIV AIDS: Signs, Symptoms, Treatment | Managing & Controlling HIV | Apollo Delhi | Dr. Jatin Ahuja | Apollo Hospital

In this informative video, Dr. Jatin Ahuja, Senior Consultant – Infectious Diseases at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi, discusses crucial aspects related to HIV management and control. Having been diagnosed with HIV can be daunting, but as Dr. Jatin Ahuja explains, there are ways to control and manage the condition effectively.Understanding HIV as a chronic disease, she outlines the importance of timing in diagnosis and starting proper treatment, called Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART). Monitoring viral loads and achieving zero counts is one of the key goals of this therapy, securing a patient’s ability to live a normal and healthy life subsequently.A significant highlight from this session is the concept of ‘undetectable equals untransmissible’, emphasising how a person with an undetectable HIV viral load becomes non-transmittable.
