HIV can be treated. Many people living with HIV start taking treatment and stay healthy as a result. Current treatment for HIV is not a cure for HIV, but it can keep HIV under control. Antiretroviral treatment works by keeping the level of HIV in your body low (your viral load). This lets your immune system recover and stay strong. Keeping your viral load low also helps to prevent HIV being passed on.
