AntiRetroViral or ART



antiretroviralthe advancement of single-pill antiretroviral drug combinations

HIV belongs to a group of viruses called "retroviruses". Medicines that fight retroviruses are called "antiretrovirals". Considering that the most important virus in the group of retroviruses is HIV, when we use the word "antiretroviral", we usually mean "anti-HIV" drugs.

The antiretrovirals that we have now cannot eliminate HIV completely and at once, but they can control it within 6 months to a level where the amount of HIV virus in the blood becomes "undetectable".

If a person's blood HIV viruses becomes "undetectable", he will no longer transmit the virus to another person through unprotected sex, and if he continues to take antiretroviral drugs regularly, he will no longer develope AIDS and live a normal and healthy life.
