Glossary Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

treatment for HIV/AIDS using multiple antiretroviral drugs

Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) is a treatment regimen for HIV/AIDS that uses a combination of three or more antiretroviral drugs to suppress the virus and stop its progression. This approach reduces the viral load in the body to undetectable levels, improves immune function, and decreases the risk of HIV transmission.
