Medical analysis to control the HIV infection
For someone living with HIV there are a few words
have with special meaning: treatment, undetectable
viral load, CD4.
In 2018, the Baylor Foundation has facilitated for
165 people the access to medical analysis to check
the viral load. Within the project, HIV-infected
patients registered in the evidence of the Constanta
Clinical Hospital for Infectious Diseases who receive
free of charge Baylor’s long term care and who
haven’t been tested the past 12 months for the viral
18
load, were offered the opportunity to get tested,
being thus allowed to assess their health status by
properly monitoring the HIV infection and get a the
real picture of their health-status.
Following the HIV treatment gives a person living
with HIV the chance to a normal life, and the viral
load and CD4 level medical analysis help that person
see if the effort to daily adhere to treatment has the
desired results.
