Living with HIV/AIDS

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that slowly destroys the body’s ability to fight infections and the cells of the immune system. The most advanced stage of the disease is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is manifested as a combination of specific diseases, symptoms and infections. Over the last decade, advancements in medical treatments have significantly helped delay the onset of AIDS.

We carry a wide variety of antiretroviral medications from the very first zidovudine (AZT) that is still widely used today to the latest combination therapy on the market.
