    medical treatment using drugs to manage HIV infection

    Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) is a medical treatment used to manage and control HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. It involves a combination of antiretroviral drugs that work together to suppress the virus, reduce its replication, and improve the immune system's function, thereby preventing the progression to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). This therapy is crucial for maintaining the health of individuals living with HIV and reducing the risk of transmission to others.
