Conditions We Treat

Hepatitis C is a virus that causes liver inflammation, passed through exposure to blood from an infected person. Symptoms, including jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, and stomach pain, may not be present and the infection may remain undetected. Years after the infection has caused permanent liver damage, symptoms might include bleeding easily, confusion, leg swelling, and more.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS. HIV is spread through sex, breast milk, shared needles, or from a mother with HIV to her baby in the womb.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are passed from person to person through sexual contact. Often there are no symptoms, so an infected person may not know they are putting others at risk for an STD. Examples of STDs include bacterial infections like gonorrhea and syphilis and viral infections like HPV (human papillomavirus) and HIV.
