HIV therapy today
Today, there are drugs that prevent HIV from multiplying in the body and thus also AIDS. If treatment is started in good time and continued for the rest of your life, you can lead a good and long life.
How the therapy works
HIV therapy ensures that the formation of new viruses is suppressed and HIV can no longer be detected using conventional methods. This is made possible by using several active substances at the same time. Each active substance blocks the replication of the virus at different sites. This treatment is known as combination therapy or antiretroviral therapy (ART for short).
Although the drugs are good at keeping HIV in check, they cannot remove it from the body. One HIV infection cannot be cured according to the current state of science.
