Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment

HIV treatment primarily involves antiretroviral therapy (ART), which uses a combination of medicines to suppress the virus. These medicines reduce the amount of HIV in the blood, helping the immune system stay strong and decreasing the risk of transmitting the virus to others. While ART doesn't cure HIV, it enables many people to live healthy, normal lives by controlling the infection. Consistent use of medication, regular medical check-ups, and healthy habits are essential for effective management. Early diagnosis and adherence to treatment are crucial for maintaining health and preventing progression to AIDS.
