HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, specifically the CD4 cells, which are crucial for fighting infections.

HIV is treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART), which involves taking a combination of HIV medicines every day. ART doesn't cure HIV but helps control the virus and prevent transmission.

What are antiretroviral drugs?

Antiretroviral drugs are medications used to treat HIV. They work by preventing the virus from replicating in the body, thereby reducing the viral load.

Currently, there is no cure for HIV. However, with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled, and people living with HIV can lead long, healthy lives.

How effective is antiretroviral therapy (ART)?

ART is highly effective when taken consistently as prescribed. It can reduce the viral load to undetectable levels, meaning the virus is not transmittable through sex (Undetectable = Untransmittable, or U=U).

What are the side effects of HIV treatment?

Side effects vary depending on the medication but can include nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, and headaches. Most side effects diminish over time.
