What is antiretroviral therapy (ART)?

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the treatment that a person with HIV takes. Antiretroviral therapy usually consists of a combination of at least three antiretroviral drugs, now combined into a single pill. These drugs inhibit the growth of the virus by stopping it from multiplying in the body. The combination of drugs is more effective than a single drug for treating HIV. A person with HIV can live a long, happy and fulfilling life. With the right treatment and support, it is possible to live as long as an uninfected person.
