The medicine used to treat HIV is called antiretroviral therapy or ART. "If taken the right way, every day, this medicine can dramatically prolong the lives of many people infected with HIV, keep them healthy, and greatly lower their chance of infecting others. Before the introduction of ART in the mid-1990s, people with HIV could progress to AIDS in just a few years. Today, someone diagnosed with HIV and treated before the disease is far advanced can live nearly as long as someone who does not have HIV." - hiv.gov]]> 2017-12-01 14:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/JanelllJ4/7gymh5ljcqw7/wish/212286370 JanelllJ4 https://padlet.com/JanelllJ4/7gymh5ljcqw7/wish/212289505 There is no cure for HIV but it can be controlled by medication.]]> 2017-12-01 15:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/JanelllJ4/7gymh5ljcqw7/wish/212289505
