Treatment Options for HIV/AIDS

While there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS, there are several treatment options available that can help individuals with the disease live long and healthy lives. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the most common treatment for HIV, and it involves taking a combination of medications that target different stages of the virus's life cycle.

ART works by preventing the virus from replicating, which slows down the progression of the disease and helps to preserve the immune system. The medications used in ART can have side effects, but these are usually mild and can be managed with proper medical care.

In addition to ART, there are several other treatments available for HIV/AIDS, including medications to treat opportunistic infections, therapies to manage symptoms, and support services to improve quality of life.
