Our Story

During his time spent while working at a healthcare center, our founder, Dr. Seun Sodipo, became acquainted with a lot of elderly patients and their families. He noticed, however, that some of his patients failed to attend their clinic appointments when their relatives were unavailable to bring them (most of them residing abroad/with busy schedules), leading to a worsening health condition in many cases.

He sought to change this by making healthcare more accessible by home care medical visits, while easing the stress of often worried loved ones. Before long, we added group consultations and testing, and in the process identified medical red flags which granted clients timely access to help. Through this, DB Healthcare was born.

HIV & AIDS

click to read

What are they?

HIV: A virus that weakens the body's defense system (immune system).

AIDS: The most advanced stage of HIV infection, when the immune system is severely damaged.

How does it spread?

Unprotected sex with someone who has HIV

Sharing needles or syringes with someone who has HIV

From a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding (with proper care, this risk is very low)

Very rarely (in countries with safe practices), through blood transfusions or organ transplants

How to prevent it?

Using condoms if there ever is casual sex.

Getting tested regularly for HIV and encouraging sexual partners to do likewise.

For those who inject drugs, use new needles and syringes every time.

There are medications - Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) - that can help prevent HIV for people at high risk.

Pregnant women with HIV can take medication to greatly reduce the risk of passing it to their baby

How is it treated?

There is no cure, but medication - Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART) - can control the virus, keep the immune system strong, and help to live a long, healthy life.

Early diagnosis and taking medication regularly cannot be overemphasized.

Ending the stigma!

Some people wrongly fear or judge those with HIV. This is unfair and can stop people from getting tested and treated.

Let's spread knowledge, not fear.

Educate ourselves and one another and end discrimination.
