HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, leading to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if left untreated. With advancements in medical care, HIV is now a manageable chronic condition, allowing patients to live long, healthy lives. At Savera, we specialize in diagnosing and managing HIV/AIDS with advanced testing, personalized treatment plans, and preventive care. Led by Dr. Meenu Vaid, we proudly serve the Morgan Hill and Bay Area communities with expert infectious disease care.
We emphasize early detection, effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), and long-term care to help patients maintain a strong immune system and prevent complications. Our clinic follows the latest treatment protocols and guidelines to ensure the highest quality of care.
HIV symptoms vary based on the stage of infection:
Recognizing early symptoms and getting tested promptly can lead to early treatment and better long-term outcomes.
Early diagnosis is crucial for managing HIV and preventing transmission.

Currently, there is no complete cure for HIV, but ART helps keep the virus under control and prevents it from progressing to AIDS. Ongoing research is exploring potential cures, but at present, lifelong treatment is necessary to manage HIV effectively.
HIV tests detect the virus by identifying HIV antibodies or viral RNA. However, during the early weeks of infection (the window period), the virus may not be detectable in standard tests. That’s why repeat testing is recommended for those with potential exposure.
While HIV cannot be completely cured, early detection and immediate ART treatment can effectively suppress the virus. Starting ART during Stage 1 (acute HIV infection) significantly improves long-term health outcomes and reduces transmission risk.
The most reliable way to check for HIV is through HIV testing, which includes blood tests, rapid antibody tests, and home self-testing kits. Regular testing is encouraged, especially for high-risk individuals, to ensure early detection and treatment.
HIV is believed to have originated from a type of virus found in chimpanzees, which crossed into humans through hunting and the consumption of bushmeat. Over time, the virus adapted and spread among human populations, leading to the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Certain groups are at a higher risk of contracting HIV, including individuals who engage in unprotected sex, share needles, or have multiple sexual partners. High-risk groups include people with untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs), those who inject drugs, and individuals exposed to HIV-positive partners without protective measures.
HIV prevention strategies include consistent condom use, regular HIV testing, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for high-risk individuals. Avoiding the sharing of needles and ensuring safe blood transfusions are also critical steps in preventing HIV transmission.
Thanks to advancements in HIV treatment, people who start ART early and adhere to their medication can live a normal lifespan. Early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and strict medication adherence are essential for managing HIV effectively.
