Pediatric HIV/AIDS Treatment

Pediatric HIV/AIDS treatment involves using antiretroviral therapy (ART) to control the virus in children, helping prevent illness and transmission. These medications reduce the virus's impact on the immune system, allowing children to grow and develop normally. Treatment plans are tailored to each child's age, health, and specific needs, often involving multiple drugs taken regularly. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment are crucial for better health outcomes. Additionally, supportive care and monitoring help manage side effects, prevent infections, and improve quality of life. With proper treatment, children with HIV can lead healthier, longer lives.
