HIV care and treatment in PSC has changed patient and provider outlooks
It has given hope to many patients who thought their lives were over the moment they knew their status. It has re-energized them and allowed them to see their children through or advance in their education and other aspect of life.
Providers have gotten satisfaction seeing the great transformation of patient while on treatment.
