HIV treatment

HIV treatment mainly involves antiretroviral therapy (ART), which uses a combination of medicines to prevent the virus from multiplying. This keeps the virus levels in the body low, helping the immune system stay strong and reducing the risk of HIV transmission. ART doesn’t cure HIV but allows people to live healthier lives. Consistent medication adherence is crucial, and regular medical check-ups are necessary to monitor health and manage side effects. When taken properly, ART effectively controls the virus, enabling individuals to maintain a normal life expectancy.
