ART (Antiretroviral Therapy)

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a medical treatment for people living with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). It involves taking a combination of HIV medicines every day, which helps to control the virus in the body. By suppressing the virus, ART allows the immune system to strengthen, reducing the risk of developing AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) and improving overall health. With proper adherence to the treatment, people with HIV can live long, healthy lives and significantly lower the chance of transmitting the virus to others.
