HIV/AIDS therapy takes an important commitment to your health to help your body fight HIV to keep your developmental risk for AIDS low so you can stay healthy!
According to HIV.org, HIV treatment involves taking medicines that slow the progression of the virus in your body. HIV is a type of virus called a retrovirus, and the drugs used to treat it are called antiretrovirals (ARV). These drugs are always given in combination with other ARVs; this combination therapy is called antiretroviral therapy (ART). Many ART drugs have been used since the mid-1990s and are the reason why the annual number of deaths related to AIDS has dropped over the past two decades.
Risk Reduction
Although a cure for HIV does not yet exist, ART can keep you healthy for many years, and greatly reduces your chance of transmitting HIV to your partner(s) if taken consistently and correctly. ART reduces the amount of virus (or viral load) in your blood and body fluids. ART is recommended for all people living with HIV, regardless of how long they’ve had the virus or how healthy they are.
Also there is a pre-exposure prophylaxis prescription medicine called TRUVADA for PrEP that can help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 when taken every day and used together with safer sex practices.
