THEME: "Transcending Barriers, Creating Opportunities"
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy describe the
effectiveness of combination drug therapies used to treat HIV. This uses a
combination of three or more drugs to treat HIV infection. Highly active
antiretroviral treatment stops the virus from making copies of itself in the
body. This may lowers the damage to the immune system caused by HIV and may
slow down the development of AIDS. It may also help prevent transmission of HIV
to others, including from mother to child during birth.
