There is no definite cure for aids. The two main goals of HIV treatment are To prevent the virus from damaging the immune system To halt or delay the progress of the infection Antiretroviral (ARV) drugs are used for treating and preventing HIV infection. They stop or interfere with the reproduction of the virus in the body. ART does not cure HIV infection. It controls replication of the virus thereby strengthening an individual?s immune system to fight off infections. These drugs must be taken at the right time every day. Incorrect or inconsistent therapy can mutate the virus causing resistance to treatment. People with HIV need counselling and psychosocial support in addition to antiretroviral treatment. A high quality of life needs to be maintained with basic hygiene, adequate nutrition and safe water.
