Infectious Disease
Experts from our Division of Infection Diseases see patients at UNM Hospital, Sandoval Regional Medical Center, and Truman Health Services—the state leader in the treatment of HIV/Stage 3 (AIDS).
What Are Infectious Diseases?
Infectious diseases are caused by organisms like bacteria, viruses or parasites. Many already live in and on our body. They are normally harmless, and can even be helpful, but some can lead to disease. Common examples include:
- HIV/AIDS
- Hepatitis C
- Streptococcal infections
- Salmonella, campylobacteriosis and other foodborne illnesses
- Fungal diseases
- Tropical diseases
- Hantavirus
Truman Health Services
UNM Health’s Truman Services uses the latest research and developments in medicine to enhance the lives of New Mexicans living with HIV/Stage 3 (AIDS).
Our goal is to help you live a healthy life with HIV. By taking medications and focusing on a healthy lifestyle, we can help you reach an undetectable HIV viral load and improve your immune system. We coordinate your care so it is comfortable, convenient, and affordable. All HIV/Stage 3 (AIDS) health services are available regardless of an ability to pay.
Center for Global Health
Our goal at the Center for Global Health is to form a network of scientists to study patterns in global health. By promoting excellence in research, education, and clinical service, we aim to:
- Support research activities at the University of New Mexico with a focus on parasitic diseases, vector-borne diseases, HIV/AIDS, viral diseases, emerging infectious diseases, bio-safety and bio-security, health systems research and environmental health.
- Foster relationships between the University of New Mexico and international partner sites for research, education and service activities.
