HIV Treatment

What is HIV treatment?

HIV treatment involves taking medicine that reduces the amount of HIV in your body.

HIV medicine is called antiretroviral therapy (ART).
There is no effective cure for HIV. However, with proper medical care, you can control HIV.
Most people can get the virus under control within six months.
Taking HIV medicine does not prevent transmission of other sexually transmitted diseases.

Starting Treatment

When should I start treatment? Start Treatment As Soon As Possible After Diagnosis

HIV medicine is recommended for all people with HIV, regardless of how long they’ve had the virus or how healthy they are.
Let your health care provider know if you or your partner is pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. They will determine the right type of HIV medicine that can help prevent transmitting HIV to your baby.

Treatment Delay

What if I delay treatment?

HIV will continue to harm your immune system.
This will put you at higher risk for developing AIDS.
This will put you at higher risk for transmitting HIV to your sexual and injection partners.
