What is HIV Treatment?

HIV treatment involves taking antiretroviral therapy (ART)—a combination of HIV medicines that slow the progression of HIV in your body. ART helps you live longer, healthier, and prevents HIV transmission to others.

When taken as prescribed, ART can reduce your viral load to undetectable levels. This means you cannot transmit HIV to sexual partners (U=U: Undetectable = Untransmittable).

Benefits of HIV Treatment

Live Longer, Healthier

With proper treatment, people with HIV can live as long as those without HIV

Prevent Transmission

Undetectable viral load means you cannot pass HIV to partners (U=U)

Protect Your Baby

Treatment during pregnancy can prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission

Improve Quality of Life

Modern medications have fewer side effects and are easier to take

Guidelines for HIV Treatment

1

Start Treatment Right Away

Begin ART as soon as possible after diagnosis. Starting treatment early leads to better health outcomes.

2

Take Every Dose

Take your medication exactly as prescribed, every day. Missing doses can lead to drug resistance.

3

Regular Monitoring

Get regular blood tests to check your viral load and CD4 count. This helps your provider ensure your treatment is working.

4

Stay Connected to Care

Keep all scheduled appointments with your healthcare provider. Consistent care is key to long-term health.

5

Communicate with Your Provider

Tell your provider about any side effects or challenges. They can adjust your treatment to work better for you.
