Our HIV care program is based on decades of experience, research, and success. Our goal is to help you live undetectable – meaning the HIV virus is so well treated that it can’t be detected in blood tests.

More than 90% of our patients living with HIV lead lives with undetectable viral loads. And not only does undetectable means they can’t transmit HIV through sex, it means their bodies are healthier and stronger because the virus isn’t causing stress and damage.

Because HIV treatment means finding the right medications and maintaining your medication routine, included in our HIV treatment is free help from our clinical Pharmacy Adherence Support Team: ASTRx. Through ASTRx, you will get “in the groove” of taking your medications on time as prescribed. Learn more about ASTRx.

Getting into and sticking with care and finding the right treatment are the keys to reaching undetectable levels. If you are living with HIV, get into care today: 410-837-2050 x8829

Chase Brexton can help you love your liver with testing, vaccinations, and treatment for hepatitis viruses.

The most common types of hepatitis in the US are hepatitis A, B, and C. While there are vaccines to prevent hepatitis A and B, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C.

Chase Brexton's Infectious Disease Center of Excellence has a comprehensive and effective treatment program for patients with hepatitis. Whether it’s an acute or chronic hepatitis virus, we will help you find the treatment and prevention program that will best protect your health.

If you are uncertain if you have hepatitis, your first step is to make an appointment with Chase Brexton to get tested. After your test, your Chase Brexton provider will help you determine next steps:

If you don't have hepatitis, they will help you decide if you should be vaccinated to prevent infection.
If your test shows you have hepatitis, they will work with you to develop a care plan and get you started on treatment.

Many people have hepatitis C. In fact, more than 40% of people living with hepatitis C don't know they have it.

About 95 percent of hepatitis C cases are cured with treatment. Treatment for most cases of hepatitis C takes 2 to 3 months. During that time, your care team will assist you with any questions, concerns, medication needs, and financial issues throughout.

By following your treatment program, you have a high chance of being cured. Not all patients will be cured. If that is the case, your care team will find the best solutions and treatment options to help you lead a healthier life. Call 410-837-2050 to get tested or to get into care today.

doctor and patient There are many ways to prevent HIV infection. Safer sex and knowing your partners’ statuses are the two most prevention strategies most people know about. But now there are even more ways to prevent infection.

PrEP – Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
PrEP is a medication for people who do not have HIV but who are at risk of getting HIV. PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% when taken as prescribed.

PEP – Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
After unexpected exposure, PEP is started as soon as possible to reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV. PEP is not 100% effective, but the CDC says it reduces the risk of infection by about 80%.

Treatment as Prevention – or U=U
For anyone living with HIV, with treatment, regular check-ups, and 6 months of undetectable viral loads, HIV cannot be spread through sex. Undetectable equals untransmittable.
