What is ART (Anti Retroviral Therapy)
ART (Antiretroviral Therapy) for HIV refers to the use of a combination of medications to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.
ART does not cure HIV, but it can significantly reduce the viral load in the blood, improve immune function, and reduce the risk of HIV transmission.
Reduce the Viral Load: ART helps to decrease the amount of HIV in the blood to undetectable levels, which is crucial for preventing the progression to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
Improve Immune Function: By controlling the virus, ART allows the immune system to recover and function more effectively, reducing the risk of opportunistic infections and other HIV-related illnesses.
Improve Quality of Life: ART helps people living with HIV maintain a better quality of life by preventing the virus from causing serious damage to the body.
Prevent Transmission: Effective ART reduces the viral load to undetectable levels, significantly lowering the risk of transmitting HIV to others, including sexual partners and, in the case of pregnant women, their babies.
