HIV medications

HIV medications can help lower your viral load, fight infections, and improve your quality of life. They can lower your chances of transmitting HIV, but if you take them incorrectly, you can still give HIV to others. They're not a cure for HIV.

The goals for these medicines are to:

Control the growth of the virus
Improve how well your immune system works
Slow or stop symptoms
Prevent transmission of HIV to others
The FDA has approved more than two dozen antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV infection. They're often broken into six groups because they work in different ways. Doctors recommend taking a combination or "cocktail" of at least two of them. This is called antiretroviral therapy, or ART.

Your doctor will let you know specifically how you should take your medications. You need to follow the directions exactly, and you shouldn't miss even one dose. If you miss doses, you could develop drug-resistant strains of HIV, and your medication may stop working.

Some other medicines and supplements don't mix well with HIV drugs, so make sure you tell your doctor about everything you're taking,(JK,2020).
In order to improve life someone affected is to stop growth of virus by using medicine like ARV's and maintaining bady balance diet as well as exercise of day to day so as to maintain health of AIDs people
