Solution

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used for managing HIV infections. It does not prevent HIV infection from occurring, nor does it rid the body of HIV completely. However, it can reduce the viral load to very low levels, making it harder for the virus to multiply and slow down the progression of the disease. This helps to keep the immune system strong and prevents opportunistic infections. It also reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to others.
