What is HIV treatment?

HIV treatment is the use of medications (antiretroviral therapies) which can help keep an HIV infected person healthy. Drug research and development is on-going. While current treatment can help people living with HIV at all stages of the disease, it cannot cure HIV infection. Individuals are unique, from their biology to their lifestyle, and therefore HIV treatment is complex and should be tailored to meet the needs of each individual.
