HIV Center

The staff of the HIV Center at Northwestern Memorial includes physicians, nurses, social workers, and pharmacists who want to promote the health of those infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We are concerned about both the medical aspects of infection and the impact on the emotional well-being of the patient and significant others.

Services at the HIV Center include:

  • Comprehensive assessment and medical treatment for HIV and associated complications
  • Clinical social work services
  • Medication teaching by a pharmacist
  • Patient/family education regarding HIV disease and related issues
  • Referral for psychiatric, dental, nutrition or legal services
  • Home health care coordination
  • Consultation with patient's personal physician
  • Clinical drug studies
  • Infusion Center

Within the HIV Center, we have specialty clinics for patients requiring hepatology, neurology, ophthalmology and hematology consultation. We also have a specialized program for HIV-infected women that includes obstetrical and gynecological care.

Individuals requiring inpatient hospital care are followed by an interdisciplinary HIV team to insure continuity and holistic care. Patients are hospitalized and treated by the HIV team on the hospital unit most appropriate for their condition.

Primary HIV disease therapy is continually being discovered through diverse clinical trials. More than 80 clinical trials are conducted at the HIV Center with over 5,000 participating patients.

Treatments and procedures include:

  • AIDS Ophthalmology Center
  • HIV/AIDS clinical trials
  • HIV/hemophilia
  • Treatment and therapies for infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases and travel-related diseases
  • Women's HIV
