Treatment
Have you been recently diagnosed with HIV?
It’s important to get you on treatment as soon as possible!
While there isn’t a cure for HIV, taking a pill daily will control the virus within your body.
ART Therapy
Known as ART therapy, it can dramatically slow the disease’s progress on the body, help prevent secondary infections and prolong life. A major milestone of adhering to ART therapy is becoming undetectable. This means that you have controlled the virus level in your body and cannot pass it on to your sexual partners. It also greatly reduces the risk of transmitting HIV through shared needles, syringes or other injected drugs.It takes approximately six months of taking a pill daily to reach this level. This is the best way to keep you and your partners healthy!
